Altitude sickness is just one of the delights awaiting
Ben Anderson on the Amazon,
Ganges and Congo rivers. Starting in the Andes, he trains with elite police and joins a group of peasants who mount a takeover from rich farmers. In India, Ben visits the holy city of Varanasi, where the volume of burials has turned the Ganges into a health hazard. At the Congo river, Ben meets passengers waiting for a ferry that has never left and soldiers extorting taxes under the nose of the UN.
Iraqi soldiers and riots await as Ben Anderson travels to the Jordan and Euphrates rivers.
