BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series in six parts
5: The Rio Sao Francisco
In this programme from the BAFTA award-winning series, Germaine Greer joins a vintage wood-burning paddle steamer on its last
1,000 kilometre voyage along the Rio Sao Francisco into the and heartland of Brazil. As the steamer makes its slow progress up river, Germaine has time to consider the future of the valley, both for the villages on the bank and the families of that romantic leather-clad figure, the vaquero - the Brazilian cowboy.
