Mediterranean With Simon Reeve

Available on

BBC Two

In `Mediterranean with Simon Reeve', Simon Reeve himself embarks upon a journey around the Mediterranean, the area where the Western civilisation finds its roots, and is yet again at the heart of a global conflict. The area attracts over 300 million tourists looking for that picture-postcard image every year. But underneath that picturesque image of a beautiful country- and seaside lies the harsh reality: The Mediterranean countries are accused of being a haven for money-launderers and organised crime, and where journalists are murdered through the means of car bombs. Simon Reeve juxtaposes two conflicting images of a crime haven and tourist heaven.
