TV recommendation: Travel Man - 96 hours in Rio
9th January 2023
Many of you will study Rio de Janeiro as your NEE city case study - with many students focusing too heavily on the negative side to life in Rio, particularly in terms of the favelas.
Last week the popular Channel 4 show featured comedians Joe Lycett and Stephen Mangan travelling to Rio - and whilst I certainly wouldn't recommend showing this as an informative and comprehensive documentary about Rio, I think it is worth recommending to students to watch in their own time, as it does focus on what Rio has to offer as a tourist destination, shows the contrasts between the wealthy areas and the favelas, and has some great footage of the physical and human landmarks.
