Brazil - The Bitumen Cowboys

Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world by area. A country like a continent: huge and diverse. Now, ahead of the major events of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics, Brazil is the focus of the world. The five-part documentary series sees the country differently. Away from Copacabana, Samba and Mulata, it shows the fascinating everyday world of the asphalt cowboys, the truckers with their enormous trucks.
