Simon Reeve In BurmaSeason 1 Episode 1

Simon travels to Burma to find out the roots of this crisis. He heads to Bangladesh to witness the drama of this still unfolding crisis. He begins his journey in the biggest city in the country, Yangon, and drives north into Burma’s Buddhist heartlands and the stunning ancient capital of Bagan - a sight that rivals the great wonders of the world. He meets the monks who supported the people through the darkest days of dictatorship, and he’s granted an audience with some of the most contentious figures in the country - ultranationalist monks preaching hate against the country’s Muslim Rohingya.
