Even the Dead Cannot Escape Politics
Despatches from close to the demilitarised zone in Korea and from the United States, Pakistan, Colombia and Myanmar.
Insight, colour, analysis. Steve Evans visits a cemetery which poignantly illuminates present day politics in the troubled Korean peninsula; Owen Bennett Jones has the story of a young Pakistani man who left home to see a film and ended up with the Taliban in Afghanistan; Jonah Fisher in Myanmar explains how Aung San Suu Kyi has turned the tables on the generals and taken on a string of top government jobs; Rachel Wright has been in Colombia where they're preparing a case for the UN saying the war on drugs isn't working and it's time for a radical change and Neal Razzell's been talking to cowboys out in eastern Oregon. There's a plan to turn a huge tract of it into a national park. So why are the ranchers so unenthusiastic?
