Everyman

Coconut Samba (1980x17)

Air date: Nov 23, 1980

' I want to ask a question: a Christian was born in a land, he was brought up in that land. He plants a coconut tree, and this tree is now 20 years old. Then a company arrives from nowhere and six months later it wants to take possession of that coconut tree. I ask: who owns that tree? ' Everyman reports from Brazil on a conflict of interests, and a bishop facing death threats and intimidation in defence of his people.
