I know that many of you in the US watch BBC television, so this post is to alert you to two programmes recently broadcast in the UK

Brazil: In the Shadow of the Stadiums was a decent documentary. It did have astonishing disclosures on the level of child prostitution (both boys and girls) and the involvement of the police. Apparently some of the children wanted their faces and names to be revealed.

Welcome to Rio is a 3part series. Two episodes have been aired and so far, it's not a great documentary. But I did find the episodes fascinating because they show much of the daily life in the favelas. I'm not naive and have travelled widely in Africa and Latin America for extended periods, but I am amazed by the resilience and energy of people living in such grinding poverty.

It was covered on BBC world news, radio. I suspect if we dig around YouTube, we might find it.

One does NOT have to "dig around," for after I read your message or post, I immediately went to "You Tube" and typed in the title of a few words and up it came. ...very, very sad indeed on all fronts!
