"THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE" |
00:00:20.364 - 00:00:21.956 |
A whole other country... |
00:00:33.577 - 00:00:35.738 |
is the one in the Amazon region. |
00:00:36.614 - 00:00:39.174 |
The native Indians lived there... |
00:00:39.383 - 00:00:41.715 |
and the different tribes were
all mixed up by the Jesuits... |
00:00:41.919 - 00:00:46.117 |
and somewhat crossbred
with whites and Blacks. |
00:00:47.157 - 00:00:52.720 |
They were all organized
as the Caboclos. |
00:00:54.798 - 00:00:57.733 |

CABOCLO BRAZIL |
00:01:30.067 - 00:01:31.932 |
The Amazon rain forest
has an unique beauty. |
00:01:32.136 - 00:01:35.503 |
Only Brazil and its neighboring
countries have that in the world. |
00:01:35.706 - 00:01:38.937 |
That huge piece of land is what
I call "the garden of Earth". |
00:01:39.243 - 00:01:43.202 |
Exuberance and mystery caused
the Amazon to go down in History... |
00:01:50.721 - 00:01:54.384 |
as a kingdom of myths,
as the El Dorado... |
00:01:54.592 - 00:01:57.755 |
a fabulous place full of gold,
silver and precious minerals. |
00:01:57.962 - 00:02:02.262 |
It was the home of the
legendary Amazon women... |
00:02:02.800 - 00:02:06.327 |
of giants and dwarfs, of men
whose feet pointed backwards... |
00:02:06.870 - 00:02:11.102 |
of fantastic drugs and plants. |
00:02:11.609 - 00:02:14.077 |
If I had to tell you
what I think about my country... |
00:02:29.994 - 00:02:34.988 |
I would start by saying that it
still has pre-Historical roots... |
