Stephen Fry in Central America

May 6, 2022 - Fridays on BBC Earth (DStv Channel 184)

In this brand new four-part travel series, Stephen Fry goes south, exploring pre-Columbian and Latin America by travelling from the Mexican border through the entire Central American isthmus to the border with South America. It's a journey through some of the oldest civilisations on the planet – and some of the most dangerous. This is more than just the beauty of a postcard or the hazy hearsay about drug cartels and banana republics. Stephen Fry gets up close and shows us the real thing.
