episode description
In this episode of Outpost, we travel to Chile and Brazil to meet the underdogs of Latin America fighting against immeasurable odds to have their voices heard, to safeguard the places they call home, and to challenge the typical stereotypes still prevalent in our society. We travel to Rio's favelas with Vytenis Didziulis to visit a pastor trying to make sure gangsters and drug dealers find God, even if they haven't left the murdering life behind. Then Gabriel Leigh takes us to meet Pangal Andrade Astorga, whose extended family of professional kayakers, rafters and environmental stewards fight a major industrial project threatening the main river in the valley they live in. Finally, we meet the women banding together in Chile, a place that's full of incredible street art but traditionally mostly by men, to show they've got just as much to offer with their graffiti.
