Given the fast internet speed in Rio, Ken was able to download some movies -- a splurge of English can really keep the spirits high while surrounded by the Portuguese language. Ok... well these movies are both in Portuguese... but there are English subtitles, which is just as good.
We highly recommend both of these movies!!!! Here are the trailers - you can rent them on iTunes (and probably Netflix too - we couldn’t because we’re outside the U.S.).
Waste Land: a documentary about a Brazilian artist who seeks to change the lives of garbage workers at a landfill in Rio.
Central Station: a story about the strange friendship between a young boy and a middle aged woman, set in Rio, the odd pair set on a journey to find the boy’s father.
