Eye on the World: Fitzroy MacLean in Mongolia

BBC One
on BBC One London

A selection of the most distinctive BBC documentaries produced in the last twelve months.

The record of a journey to a Communist buffer state by Sir Fitzroy Maclean, M.P.

Until Sir Fitzroy took a camera to Mongolia, few Western travellers had set foot there. The only independent Communist country in the world surrounded on all sides by Communist power, Mongolia presents an astonishing spectacle of feudal sporting passions nourishing happily among orthodox Marxist conceptions.
First transmission on Dec. 31, 1963
