In the US state of Alabama, a weird and wonderful fantasy land conceived by a visionary with a wild imagination. A place of refuge in Ireland that turned into a house of horrors during a moment of unprecedented national crisis. Scarred ruins strewn across a South Korean city tell of a moment when an outpouring of democratic fervor was met by ruthless repression and a violent crackdown at the hands of a military dictatorship. And, on Namibia's arid skeleton coast, lie scattered traces of a brutal but once vital industry.
