WHAT IN THE WORLD? kicks-off tonight on RTE

Building on the success of the first and second series of What in the World? This third series will visit remote parts of the world to raise greater public awareness of global development and human rights issues.

TUVALU a cluster of nine tiny coral islands and one of the smallest nations on earth is in danger of disappearing because of global warming. Remote PATAGONIA is fast becoming a playground for billionaires while the people of BURMA are suffering from civil war for nearly three decades. The inhabitants of DIEGO GARCIA were forcibly evacuated to make way for a UK/US air and navy support station. Oil, diamonds and silver attract multinationals to ANGOLA and BOLIVIA at the expense of the local people.

This documentary series will focus on the ordinary people in these countries as they experience the human consequences of global economic inequalities and human rights violations.

The series is edited by our very own RONAN O'MUIRGHEASA - SEXTON+ are proud to have had him resident at our South Georges Street Studio while working on the series.
