In the Americas with David Yetman
The Brazilian State of Ceara
Season 5
Episode 510
From dazzling beaches to verdant mountains to parched scrubland, Ceará exhibits many of the attractions and also the contradictory currents that Brazilians face. David visits the old sections of the capital city of Fortaleza, a once-isolated beach town, the sweltering inland semi-desert, and the lush mountain range that forms the state's garden basket.
