Mali: The Road to Timbuktu (2) (2013x12)

Air date: Apr 23, 2013

After a gruelling journey through mesmerising Mali, the Foreign Correspondent team finally reach their destination – the legendary town of Timbuktu. They find a community traumatised by the events of the past year, when they were forced to live under the strict rule of a bunch of gun-toting religious extremists who imposed Sharia law, carried out public floggings, banned music and most forms of public entertainment, and destroyed religious shrines and books.
