[Brazil@Harvard] talk on education reform & documentary on Lula

Classes at Harvard are over, but the "Brazil Semester" rages on. I am delighted to announce the two final Brazil-related events of the Spring 2005 Semester (see below). I also wanted to say "muito obrigado" for your participation, feedback and support during this "Brazil Semester." On behalf of our faculty-led Brazilians Studies Committee and all of us at DRCLAS, we hope we have helped strengthen Harvard's place in the Brazilian Studies map and bring more of Brazil into Harvard Yard and beyond.

Based on 240 hours of exclusive footage taken by Salles' crew --- which had unprecedented access to the former metalworker from São Paulo and his family, friends and fellow PT party members --- the filmmaker reveals a startlingly candid backstage view of a modern politician.
