Summary
"For many Brazil possesses a truly energetic and alluring way of life, synonymous with heady carnivals, samba, football and a bewildering ethnic diversity. But behind this glittering facade lies a much more disturbing story - the history of the biggest ever slave population. Whereas 4% of all African slaves were transported to North America, 40% were shipped to Brazil. This programme looks at those estimated 4 million people, on whose backs Brazil was built and without whom none of its present-day culture would be possible"--Container
