Brazil

Day 21: São Luís

Bumba Meu Boi. Beneath balloons of green and pink (the colours of Floresta) the crowds squeeze in to watch the blessing of the bull.	At the bull's head, I talk to Nadir Melônio about the creation of the bull.
Young celebrants in emu feather outfits.	The Godfather. Apolônio Melônio, ninety-two-year-old inspiration behind the Projeto Floresta Criativa.
