Brazil's other passion

Brazil is known for its love of football but the FIFA World Cup was met with protests against FIFA’s control over Brazil and skateboarders were among those on the frontline. This documentary follows a unique character called Ernani Craveiro, better known to his friends as ‘Tai Tai’, during the protests as he explains why skateboarding is the new sport of the nation and Brazil’s other passion.

About Mark Harding

After several years travelling I am now furthering my education at Masters level. During my undergraduate studies I managed to have a healthy balance of social and physical extra-curricular activities which included; writing for the students' union magazine, playing and coaching football or cricket, and of course getting to the bar in time for the pub quiz. None-too-surprisingly, I enjoy writing about travel and sport. However I also like to dabble in music, food & wine, science & technology, theatre, and other random little titbits.
