The presentation is scheduled for Friday evening, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. in OCC's Robert B. Moore Theatre. Denn has appeared on OCC's Armchair Program stage on three previous occasions, offering films on Hawaii, Panama and Spain. Denn's latest cinematic effort closely examines the nation that is fifth largest in the world in terms of size, and sixth largest in population.
Brazil is considerably larger than Europe.
Brazil's diversity ranges from the elegant magnificence of Rio de Janeiro to the dark forested backwaters of the Amazon. The world's largest hydroelectric project, Itaipu Dam, is located on the Brazilian Paraguayan border. Brazil has a coastline that is 4,600 miles in length. It includes rugged cliffs and headlands, deep harbors, a multitude of islands, and amazing white sand beaches. The Amazon River Basin drains an area larger in size than the contiguous United States, flowing over 4,000 miles.
