For this award-winning eight-part series Jack Pizzey spent 18 months in 'the least-reported and most exciting region' of the world, reporting on every aspect of South American society.
2: Heaven, Hell and Eldorado Columbus imagined South America's jungles to be a paradise, but later explorers found them more like hell. Yet for many they still hold the promise of wealth.
Jack Pizzey went into the Amazon basin to meet the fortune-hunters and the losers. As the prospectors and developers exploit the jungle, what will be left for the Indians?
