WELCOME TO BRAZIL // COWBOYS, SAMBA AND RAINFOREST RABBIS

This season we head to the tropical climes of Brazil to meet Jewish samba musicians, cowboys, Amazon adventurers and a rainforest rabbi, who braves caiman-infested waters to reach his congregation. Plus, hear from cultural activists across the country bringing new life to ancient traditions. Elsewhere, we mark the end of Tel Aviv's historic Ohel Theatre; investigate freedom of speech on UK college campuses with Baroness Ruth Deech; go behind the scenes with Sean Penn and Volodymyr Zelensky on the set of new film Superpower; spotlight the feisty New York matzah bakers, who fought for better working conditions – and won – plus much more.
