Available for over a year

The Libyan city of Misrata was the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting during the revolution that toppled Colonel Gaddafi last year. A deadly legacy of unexploded shells, bombs and mines litter the city and the surrounding areas. Ali Abohajar has the highly dangerous job of removing them. Also, the unlikely friendship between a Parisian cabaret dancer and a tribal chief from Papua New Guinea; And the challenges of being a reporter in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
