| Summary |
In this new four-part series, Simon Reeve leads a team of journalists on a journey of discovery to some of the most spectacular locations on Earth. Travelling through mountains, deserts and jungles, they uncover gripping stories from around the world.Episode 1: Patagonia to the PampasIn the first episode, Simon Reeve and the team travel through the spectacular landscapes of Argentina, from the vast ice fields of Patagonia to the wide-open plains of the pampas.In the south, a group of indigenous people are locked in a historic dispute with the area's biggest landowners, Italian clothing giants Benetton; in Buenos Aires, the children of the 'disappeared' are seeking to find out the truth of what happened to their parents at the hands of Argentina's generals; and in the pampas we meet one of the last true gauchos, whose way of life is being destroyed by an agricultural revolution.Along the way, Simon takes in one of the most passionate matches in world football between arch-rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate, visits a penguin colony on the edge, and meets a bishop with a rather unorthodox interest in Evita.
