Discovery Atlas: Brazil Revealed [Blu-ray] Reviews:
it's fun - a little bit tendentious
2009-02-02 - This is a very well produced documentary about the biggest country in Latin America. I live in Brazil, so I can tell it's a little bit focused on poverty - it seems it's like a synonym to Brazil despite you can find that in most cities nowadays. The are lots of natural wonders this video missed, such as Iguacu Falls, the Pantanal area (brazilian Everglades), wonderful beaches in the northeast, the german/italian background in the south, the several agro and high tech industry cities in the countryside of Sao Paulo State etc. However it is worth watching.

Best about Brazil
2008-11-17 - Brazil is a very complex country and full of different angles. It is as big as the US, but very misunderstood... and for some it is even totally unknown.

For the great majority of the world, Brazil is still perceived as the country of Pele (the soccer player), the coffee drinks, a crazy Carnival, bananas everywhere, the pretty ladies, and little else.

Well, this DVD will show you something more than just the ordinary by looking into the ordinary of this land. It will show you another side of the Carnival, another side of soccer, a few characters living with their daily chores, the beauty of nature and the abysmal differences of cultures from north to south.

It is almost complete, for it could not fit in some other geographical areas of the country(like the sunny Northeast and the Europeanish South, for instance). As a matter of fact, it'd need a full collection of many DVDs in order to make someone really understand what this big country seems to be.

Amazing. Simply Amazing.
2007-12-28 - It is a shame that there are people who don't bother to READ what these documentaries are about BEFORE they buy them and are disappointed.

The oft-stated aim of Discovery Atlas is not a history lesson ... it is a unique look at countries through the eyes and personal stories of a select group of individuals.

What better ways to learn the true feelings and emotions than by this manner.

Exquisitely shot, wonderfully narrated, these videos provide a unique look into each of these nations that one would not otherwise EVER be party to.

Great Series - Discovery Atlas
2007-08-06 - I have seen all of the Discovery Atlas documentaries, and this one is also a 5 star viewing. The quality of the filmwork, as well as the content covered makes for an interesting, feel-good, learning and viewing experience. I highly recommend not only the Brazil one, but all of the other ones in the Discovery Atlas series. Get them, you will not be disappointed. Great HD clarity.

Fabulous images
2007-05-07 - As in all the countries so far in this series (Italy, China, Australia, Brazil) this is a dazzling look at the culture of a country in superb photography and intimate portraits of the people and lifestyles of the inhabitants. Wonderful education and entertaining viewing.
