Stories from Brazil, ahead of the presidential election in October, including the murder of Tim Lopes, the hero of Brazilian democracy and the Candelaria Massacre.

Plus the creation of the capital, Brasilia, and the history of the Fusca - the car that charmed Brazil.

This programme contains descriptions of violence and some listeners may find parts of it distressing.
