90 min
Scotland
Travelling by fishing trawler, Ben will sail over 650km to visit three extraordinary islands - Stroma, Swona and the world-famous St. Kilda. He will be joined, both on the boat, and the islands, by locals and experts who will tell the tale of these forgotten, mysterious and intriguing isles. All of whom have a different insight of what it means to become a Lost World.
Montserrat
On the tiny Caribbean Island of Montserrat, Earth's most powerful natural phenomenon gradually devasted large areas of the island when their long dormant volcano awoke in the 1990s. Within two years, most of the population had fled their homes more than once, either becoming refuges in the northern part of their island, or leaving Montserrat entirely. Ben will investigate what it was like living in the shadow of a violently explosive volcano as he uncovers unique stories of great heroism and loss.
Cyprus
A brutal war in the 1970s left Cyprus split in two and displaced a third of its population. Ben spends a week with the UN's Peacekeeping Force, who patrol the enormous buffer zone on the island, keeping the Turkish and Greek Cypriot communities separated. Ben is on a mission to understand more about the so-called 'Cyprus Problem', visiting ghost towns left behind, learning how criminal gangs profit from the division and hearing often tragic stories from people on both sides whose lives have been devastated by the conflict.
