Chile and Bolivia (A South American Journey, with Jonathan Dimbleby)In Chile, Jonathan Dimbleby discovers a nation transformed since the demise of General Pinochet, but still working to heal the scars left by his rule. He meets the editors of a satirical magazine, rides with Chile’s first female rodeo rider, crosses the Atacama Desert to a ghost town where he visits with poet Jorge Montealegre—who says that under Pinochet the town was turned into a concentration camp where he was detained—then reaches the ocean, where he finds fishermen harvesting seaweed for export to China. From Chile, Dimbleby heads to Bolivia, where he meets child laborers who have formed a trade union; two sisters from the once persecuted Aymara community, who compete as cholitas in wrestling matches to assert their national identity; and coca farmers.
