The first scene is the opening montage from a Brazilian soap opera "God Help Us". It euphemistically depicts the corruption that was swallowing the country at the time. A few years ago I did a little research and emailed the creator of the scene, Mr. Hans Donner, and he was kind enough to send me a tape of the making of it all just for the asking. He also included some carnival footage of his famous, in Brazil anyway, wife. You can get a better look at her here -

It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.
