Holidays In The Danger Zone

Ivory Coast, Benin & Nigeria (2x2)

Air date: Jun 22, 2004

Ben Anderson concludes his adventures along Africa's west coast, where modern-day states live with a legacy of slavery, colonial carve-ups and horrific civil wars. In the impoverished Ivory Coast he finds a basilica taller than the Vatican, while in Benin voodoo is flourishing and a huge oil spill in Nigeria's delta has blighted the land.
