Making Waves

Available for over a year

We hear how hundreds of men from Myanmar and other South-East Asian countries are being used as slaves to catch fish that end up on American dinner tables. Then, we find out why Americans are being urged to be better informed about the seafood they eat. Also, we witness a scientist unlocking one of the great mysteries of Arctic ice melt. Japanese artists remember the Fukushima disaster through their photography. And we learn about the ‘Texas Miracle’ that’s fuelling huge economic growth— and the climate change that may end it. Plus, how musicians in the Nile River basin are helping their region tackle its drought problem.
