At 82, national treasure Michael Palin undertakes one of his most perilous journeys yet: a three-part exploration of Venezuela, the "most dangerous country in South America". Travelling from the barrios of Caracas and the vast slum of Petare to the Amazon rainforest, he meets ordinary Venezuelans living through hyperinflation, political repression and economic collapse. In the second episode he escapes to the coral islands of Los Roques, a Caribbean "paradise" whose tourism industry has been devastated. Finally, Palin ventures into Zulia, a Foreign Office red-zone, to witness remote communities, spectacular wildlife and the eerie Catatumbo lightning over Lake Maracaibo. Blending warmth, humour and quiet journalism, Michael Palin in Venezuela offers a compassionate, visually stunning portrait of a beautiful but deeply troubled nation.
