Habitats & People's Dreams

The series shows how people have turned their inhospitable homes into a home against all odds - from Nepalese Sherpas battling the elements in the Himalayas to the Iranian cavemen of Kandovan. We climb the steps of Yunnan's stunning terraced rice fields in China carved out of the mountain by the Hani over 1000 years ago, swim with the little-known Badjao or "sea gypsies" of the Philippines and meet the rugged Bolivian miners who have been around for generations To win salt from the shining mirror desert of Salar de Uyuni.
