Sacred Rivers with Simon Reeve: The Nile

OBSAH

The adventurer returns with a series that takes him around the world to areas that cannot be fully appreciated without considering the vast influence of their rivers, and he's going to explain how those sacred rivers don't just simply flow through countries - they define them. Simon begins at the source of the world's longest river, the Nile, and follows it out to sea, taking him from the Ethiopian highlands, through the desert of Sudan and then Egypt, right to the Mediterranean Sea. He also explains how the Nile has forged some of our earliest civilisations and influenced religions. However, the stability of the region looks uncertain, given that populations along its banks are growing, and Nile countries are demanding greater shares of the sacred waters.
