A series in six parts 3: Eater of Men
Christina Dodwell, writer and explorer, spent two years living with the tribal peoples of Papua New Guinea. In the third programme in this BAFTA award-winning series, Christina returns to take a journey across the island - still one of the most remote places on earth. The trip culminates with a rafting expedition attempting the first descent of the dangerous Wahgi river. So treacherous are its rapids that locals call it the 'eater of men'. With good reason, as it turns out. Written and presented by CHRISTINA DODWELL
