In this episode of Brazil Unfiltered, James Naylor Green speaks with Brian Mier. Brian is a Chicago native who has lived in Brazil for almost 30 years while working as a journalist. Brian is co-editor of the English language publication Brasil Wire and correspondent for Telesur English’s news program, “From the South.” He also edited the book Year of Lead: Washington, Wall Street and the New Imperialism in Brazil, which came out in 2019.

Brazil is going through turbulent times. There’s never been a more important moment to understand Brazil’s politics, society, and culture. To go beyond the headlines, and to ask questions that aren’t easy to answer. 'Brazil Unfiltered,' does just that. This podcast is hosted by James N. Green, Professor of Brazilian History and Culture at Brown University and the National Co-Coordinator of the U.S. Network for Democracy in Brazil.

Brazil Unfiltered is part of the Democracy Observatory, supported by the Washington Brazil Office, and produced by Camarada Productions.
