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.
Um grande abraço, Tomas

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.
