BR14: A Rota dos Imigrantes is a series of documentaries airing on TV Brasil in June during the World Cup, with the idea being that an immigrant in Brazil from each country competing in the World Cup will be shown whilst visiting places with links to their homeland or fellow exiles who have made a life in Brazil. The series begins tonight and the first show features Japan and Costa Rica.
The reason I am plugging the show here is because I am excited to say that earlier this year I was invited to be the focus of the programme on England. My episode airs on 16th June at 7.30pm and whilst I don’t want to give too much away, all I’ll say is that I had the honour of meeting someone whose grandfather every Brazilian will thank for what he brought to their country.
Here is link to the page with more information about my episode and below you can watch a trailer for the series. Also, here are links to the show’s website and its Facebook page. Enjoy!
the book is on the table 
Andy, that is fantastic! Can’t wait to watch (hope I can se it in Japan) looks really interesting. Congratulations x
Thanks 🙂
Very cool Andy. Will we be able to see it in the UK somehow?
Unfortunately not, although a stream may well go up on Vimeo or somewhere. I’m hoping to get a physical copy to bring back to the UK though, although you’ll need to brush up your Portuguese a bit to get half of it.

TV Brasil prepares to show a documentary featuring immigrants from the 32 nations represented in the World Cup.
Thanks 🙂
Looks like a really interesting documentary, I’ll check it out!
I just got interviewed by a TV company here in Belo Horizonte. It was in Portuguese so I was really nervous. We’ll see how it plays out when/if it goes on TV…
Yeah, it’s pretty intense having to speak in Portuguese when you have a camera in your face. You get used to it though, surprisingly, after four days!
What were you talking about on air?
That is awesome!
We were wandering around Belo Horizonte’s Mercado Central and they wanted me to try the local sweets, breads, cheeses and fruits and give my opinion on them. It was just a bit of fun.

Can’t wait to see this!
Do you meet the grandson of the guy who brought football to Brazil or something?
Yes, the grandson of Charles Miller.
Damm I can´t wait to see this. Let´s hope it makes it onto vimeo.
Whoo Hooo! Marking my calendar!! When it gets closer, will help communicate to my small audiences!!! Congrats!
