From Sarajevo to Red Africa

From Sarajevo to Red Africa, the history of the real Third World is not discussed enough.  Great civilizations rose and fell, great powers were defied, great fortunes were made and lost, and world wars began in the Third World.  

Far from the popular meaning of Third World involving starvation, poverty, and degradation, the term was originally coined to describe the nations of the world that would come to form the Non-Aligned Movement.  Understanding that being alone meant being drawn into one of the two Cold War divisions, they worked together to forge a third path of their own.  But it was not the first time these nations had forged their own paths.

From interviews to cultural landmarks and unique and meaningful historical travel, From Sarajevo to Red Africa we showcase the real Third World, not the TV telethon.
