Episode Information

Decorated veteran Robert Gallimore travels to Pakistan to explore a country whose status as ‘the most dangerous country in the world’ threatens to overwhelm its rich and ancient history. Gallimore challenges the established narrative, and unveils the unexpected, unexplored side of - if not the most dangerous - perhaps the most misunderstood country in the world. Pakistani modern life is surprising: with a robust and transparent banking system, religious tolerance, a thriving culture and even modern shopping malls. Emerging from a turbulent past, Pakistan has a bright future in the form of investment into the Chinese-Pakistan economic corridor, billions of dollars pumped into the construction of an oil city and a trade route. This is a sensory feast, but also an opportunity to set the record straight on a country’s vibrant, distinctive culture.
