Adventurer and broadcaster Simon Reeve heads to Burma for a new two part series. Cut off for decades under military rule, Burma, also called Myanmar, now has a democratically elected government led by world-famous Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi. But in August 2017, the world was left stunned when a brutal military operation drove hundreds of thousands of ethnic Rohingya Muslims from their homes.
In this first episode Simon travels to Burma to find out the roots of this crisis - as well as heading 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.
