Description: By the end of the 20th century Sao Paulo will be the world's largest city, with an estimated population of 25 million, half of which will be children. Looks at the effect of Brazil's rapid economic growth

Complete Record: Considers the social effects of Brazil’s ‘economic miracle’ and contends that the country’s military regime perpetuates the syndrome of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. British journalist Jonathan Dimbleby looks at the life of the poor in Sao Paulo, the fastest growing city in the world, and focuses on the plight of the city’s children--600,000 of whom have been abandoned--and the increasing infant mortality rate.
