Episode 1

Out of Africa

57 mins

Michael Palin starts his visit of Brazil, the last subcontinent he never visited, in the populous North east, where its colonial history started. It remains the most African and racially mixed part of the country, which absorbed 40% of the African slave export. The plantations having faded, it sunk in the ranking of riches. Michael enjoys the exuberant, public lifestyle, especially the beach-culture and exotic cooking, and discusses the Brazilian soul as well as differences within the huge country.
