"Brazil Rising," at the World Affairs Council (Clip 3)

Brazil. It conjures up images of carnival, the beaches of Rio, The Girl From Ipanema, and the samba.

But a new Brazil is emerging on the world stage. Brazil today is one of the fastest growing players in the global economy, a bio-fuels pioneer on the fast track to energy self-sufficiency, a booming haven for foreign investment, and a test case for a new approach to governance in Latin America.

Can Brazil successfully chart a new path that overcomes the country's grinding poverty and its tide of violent crime, while still preserving the country's unique environment? David Brown, Simon Marks, Kristin McHugh, and Keith Porter will talk about "Brazil Rising," a new radio documentary that takes listeners on a personal journey across the country, exploring Brazil's view of itself, its neighbors, and the world.
