What happens

Brazil with Michael Palin is a travel documentary series by Michael Palin consisting of four episodes, which was first broadcast on BBC One from 24 October to 14 November 2012. Palin had never been to Brazil which, in the 21st century, has become a global player with a booming economy bringing massive social changes to this once-sleeping giant which, as the fifth largest country, is as big as some continents. The series should not be confused with the 1985 Terry Gilliam film Brazil, which starred Michael Palin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
