| Description: |
Oscar's Brazil takes us in words and pictures to the heart of Brazil. It's a journey which uncovers the spirit of an extraordinary nation, its people and its football, in the company of one of the country's favourite sons. Oscar is Brazil's rising young star and here he offers us the perfect introduction to his home country. |
| Synopsis: |
It's been a long wait: 2014 sees Brazil host a World Cup for the first time since 1950. It's been a welcome return for the world's greatest game to its spiritual home; the greatest football nation on earth. The national team binds a huge and disparate country together, inspiring hope, fear and joy across every age and social class with an intensity which, once witnessed, can never be forgotten. This will be a World Cup guaranteed to take the breath away. Brazil is a country the size of a continent unparalleled in the richness and variety of its geography and with a population of nearly 200 million drawn from an incredible mix of backgrounds, many of them concentrated in two of the world's great cities: Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Brazil has emerged as an international powerhouse on the 21st century stage, Brazilian culture, too - samba capoeira, carnival - is well on its way to conquering the globe. |
