| Summary |
With its sun-bleached shores and stunning islands, the Indian Ocean washes some of the most beautiful and exotic locations on the planet. In this six-part series, Simon Reeve brings his unique brand of adventure journalism to this fascinating and increasingly important area, as he engages in the lives and struggles of its coastal peoples.The last leg of Simon's journey begins on the northern tip of Sumatra. In Banda Aceh, Sharia law is in force and Simon joins the local vice and virtue squad who patrol the streets and beaches to eradicate immoral behaviour.In the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, Simon investigates the shocking trade in exotic pets and encounters the group attempting to save one of the country's most bizarre species, the slow loris.Next stop is Bali, another island paradise, where Simon joins a family of seaweed farmers, who cultivate great areas of sea to provide a new protein source that some hail as a miracle crop.Australia is the last of sixteen countries of this Indian Ocean journey, and site of one of the world's greatest and most unspoilt wildernesses, the Kimberley.Follow the conversation on Twitter #SBSdoco |
