Brasília & Rio De Janeiro
Brasília is the country's capital and was created in the middle of nowhere by architect Oscar Niemeyer. Fernanda hears some personal stories from the past from a taxi driver who came to the city as a builder when it was under construction more than 40 years ago. Hippies and new age believers are drawn to the area because of a massive rock crystal that lies underground and Fernanda spends a day with one of the city's many mystic cults, ‘The Dawn Valley', and tries to get her head around their beliefs. She also pays a visit to the main temple and centre of decision-making, Brazil's National Congress. She wants to find out why Brazil is so obsessed with football. After some serious political talk, it's time to lighten up and relish Rio de Janeiro. She ventures into a favela to meet Tia Léa, a cook that has transformed her humble home into a restaurant popular with artists and politicians and, after taking in some of the city's most recognisable sights, she discovers foot volley, a new sport taking the world by storm. A combination of football and volleyball, it requires enormous skill.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live is an Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
