Brazil with Michael Palin
S01E01Out of Africa
Michael starts in the north east of Brazil where Europeans first settled and grew rich on slave labour. In Sao Luis, European and African religious rituals come together in typically Brazilian celebrations. Michael also visits one of the region's massive beaches before heading to the monster sand-dunes of the Lencois Maranhenses National Park. In Recife, he takes a look around the city’s striking street art and sculptures, and in Olinda, he gets roped onto the dance floor in a country where everybody dances. In Salvador, his fortune is read by a priest who practises the local religion of Candomble.
