What Happened to Brazil...

Episode Three

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC WORLD NEWS North America

Not so long ago Brazil seemed set to become one of the most successful countries of the twenty first century, but widespread corruption, mass protests, a recession and violent crime have led to a series of upheavals which have seen governments thrown out and political leaders jailed. This three part documentary series explores the crisis years of 2013-2018 in Brazil. The final episode includes an exclusive interview with Lula, the imprisoned former President of Brazil, and examines the tumultuous events which led to the rise to power of Brazil's deeply controversial new President, Jair Bolsonaro.
