In Search of Myths and Heroes

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Shangri-La. The idea of a magical valley hidden in the Himalayas was popularised in Frank Capra 's
1937 movie Lost Horizon. But the story of a secret earthly paradise has its roots in ancient Buddhist legend. Presenter Michael Wood embarks on a trek through India, Nepal and Tibet in search of the lost city that he believes inspired the myth.
