Simon Reeve's South America
Season 1 Episode 1 of 5
The adventurer sets off on a journey through the continent, beginning in the remote and little-visited north-east. In Venezuela, Simon meets some of the thousands of migrants fleeing the economic collapse of their country, while he learns that neighbouring Guyana could be on the verge of its own oil boom. He also meets a gun-toting former warlord who is now one of Suriname's most successful businessmen, and ends his journey in French Guiana, where he goes to the launch site of the European Space Agency
Simon Reeve's South America airs on U&Yesterday HD at 2:00 PM, Saturday 7 December. (Subtitles.)
