Michael Palin in Nigeria - Michael Palin [DVD]

This three-part series - covering a 1,300-mile-long journey - will be the first time Palin has visited Nigeria. Predicted to become the third most populous country in the world after China and India, Nigeria has a rapidly growing population and is expected to become a major player on the world stage. The country is often characterised by stories of corruption and violence, but the series sets out to demonstrate a much more complex reality. In the series we discover Nigeria is more than an epic and beautiful journey, it's a look at the future and past in a global context.
