Amazing. Simply Amazing. December 29, 2007
It is a shame that there are people who don't bother to READ what these documentaries are about BEFORE they buy them and are disappointed.
The oft-stated aim of Discovery Atlas is not a history lesson ... it is a unique look at countries through the eyes and personal stories of a select group of individuals.
What better ways to learn the true feelings and emotions than by this manner.
Exquisitely shot, wonderfully narrated, these videos provide a unique look into each of these nations that one would not otherwise EVER be party to.

I have seen all of the Discovery Atlas documentaries, and this one is also a 5 star viewing. The quality of the filmwork, as well as the content covered makes for an interesting, feel-good, learning and viewing experience. I highly recommend not only the Brazil one, but all of the other ones in the Discovery Atlas series. Get them, you will not be disappointed. Great HD clarity.

As in all the countries so far in this series (Italy, China, Australia, Brazil) this is a dazzling look at the culture of a country in superb photography and intimate portraits of the people and lifestyles of the inhabitants. Wonderful education and entertaining viewing.
Two thumbs up! April 15, 2007

Discovery Channel has done a superb job. HD is the way to go going forward for documentaries as it really brings high definition to a whole other level. I can't wait for the Planet Earth to come out on Blu-ray disc in a couple of weeks.
