Simon Reeve retraces the adventures of our ancestors, and learns about the forgotten aspects of pilgrimage - including the vice, thrills and dangers that awaited travellers.

Simon Reeve travels to beautiful and troubled Burma, also called Myanmar, for a new two-part series (2x60'). 　　In August last year the world was left stunned when a brutal military operation drove hundreds of thousands of ethnic Rohingya Muslims from their homes. On his journey Simon discovers a divided country - where life is steadily improving for many, while others still live in terror of the military who still have enormous power in the country. 　　In this two part series, Simon travels to the biggest city in the country, Yangon to find out how the country is transforming. From there he drives north, into Burma's Buddhist heartlands and the stunning ancient capital of Bagan - a sight that rivals the great wonders of the world. 　　Simon visits Bangladesh to meet the refugees traumatised by the violence. In what is now the biggest refugee settlement in the world, he learns about a crisis that has been brewing for decades, with no sign of ending, and potentially grave consequences for the wider region. 　　And he discovers it's not just the Rohingya's suffering at the hands of the military as he travels secretly into one of Burma's many conflict zones to meet a rebel army who've been fighting the military for decades - in what has become the longest-running civil war in the world.

第一集　破冰 　　本片开头是乔纳森·丁布尔比在北极圈里的苔原上驾车的情景。此时正值俄罗斯短暂夏天中的极昼季节，冰雪融化，太阳不落。现在，在乔纳森·丁布尔比眼前有一段一万英里长的艰苦路途，他要穿越的这个国家不仅是世界上最大的，而且或许也是最令人敬畏的。 　　第二集　两个世界 　　如今，如果说俄罗斯的活力是在城市，那么这个国家永恒的精神是在乡村。在本集的开头，乔纳森·丁布尔比参加了一场麦当娜音乐会的招待会，莫斯科的任何人都可以出席，包括一位高级餐厅的老板Arkady Novikov。第二天乔纳森乘火车来到了一个截然不同的世界：列夫·托尔斯泰的故居。他可以说是俄国最伟大的一位作家。 　　第三集　祖国 　　伏尔加河是俄罗斯人爱国情怀的象征，它流经莫斯科，通过俄国的心脏，最后注入里海。几次巨大争斗和变革都发生在它的沿岸。离阿斯特拉罕港不远有一个规模很小的村庄，那儿曾经是金帐汗国的首都。乔纳森正值寒风刺骨的2月到达那里，惊讶地发现，成吉思汗的庞大帝国的西京已湮没无迹。 　　第四集　国家宝藏 　　西伯利亚是俄罗斯的宝藏。早在16世纪，第一批冒险横跨乌拉尔山脉的哥萨克人在此大做毛皮生意，但是不久后，别的暴利生意就兴起了。乔纳森从一个绿宝石矿开始他的这次旅途，然后来到叶卡捷琳堡——这个城市建起以保护和开发山里的铁矿储备。它的重工业为苏联政府制造了大批坦克和军备，还诞生了重金属音乐传统。 　　第五集　远离莫斯科 　　这天根据西伯利亚标准是一个温暖的日子，仅零下18度而已。当乔纳森在贝加尔湖岸附近遇见一个布里亚特僧人。Valentin Khagdaev把乔纳森带到原野上的一棵树前。这棵树是从石头里长出来的。

In this two-part series, Simon Reeve travels to Greece, one of the most beautiful, troubled, and extreme countries in Europe. Travelling from the Islands of the Aegean to the rugged and mountainous north, Simon gets behind the picture-postcard image to learn more about Greece and the Greeks - and why the country has faced a seemingly endless economic crisis. Along the way he encounters an extraordinary cast of characters, from rebel monks and gun-toting priests, to desperate migrants and an injured bear cub. 　　The first leg of Simon Reeve’s journey around Greece takes him from the holiday islands of the Aegean to the capital city of Athens. 　　Off the tiny island of Pserimos Simon goes underwater with the divers who still hunt for the sea creature which made these islands rich: the natural sponge. He hears how the island’s population is struggling in the face of declining stocks and the wider economic crisis. 　　Travelling onto Lesvos, just a few miles from the Turkish coast, Simon encounters another of the huge challenges facing the country: the migrant crisis. The island has become Europe’s frontline, with thousands of refugees arriving daily, fundamentally changing the lives of the islanders. 　　On Greece’s largest island, Crete, Simon heads to the rugged mountains where every shepherd is armed and the local priest is also head of the local gun club. Camping out under the stars Simon learns how for Cretans, memories of Germany’s role in the Second World War still colour their view of the Greek debt crisis. 　　In Athens, Simon investigates the effects of that crisis. He hears how hard life is for an impoverished community living in converted shipping containers, and in the city he is confronted by angry protesters - and sees just how quickly these protests can descend into a riot.

An epic adventure into the unknown. Simon Reeve's toughest journey yet - into the heart of Earth's last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
