The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan - Season 4
Season 4
The hugely popular Misadventures travelogue series returns following Romesh on a single epic adventure through central Africa – visiting Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar.
Episodes
Uganda
Romesh Ranganathan explores Uganda, its people and culture, its past and its modern complexity, to find out whether Brits should add this this visually stunning, landlocked country the size of the UK to their holiday bucket list.
With his guide, Bugandan princess Alex, Romesh learns about Uganda's history before and after Idi Amin and how Uganda got its name, before sampling traditional rural village life by getting blind drunk on banana gin (of unknown alcohol strength).
Rom is awed by Uganda's natural beauty but is unable to ignore an ugly truth. Will the treatment of the LGBTQ+ community in Uganda in the wake of the widely supported and recently passed anti-gay laws force him to come to an uncomfortable conclusion about his time in the country?
Rwanda
Romesh crosses the border from Uganda into Rwanda, a country he feels has been defined by Westerners almost entirely by the 1994 genocide. More recently, the British government announced plans to send refugees seeking asylum in the UK to Rwanda.
Rom's affable guide is performance artist, genocide survivor and peace activist Hippo, who initiates him the cultural significance of sharing milk, puts him to work helping to maintain the pristine streets of the capital, Kigali, and shows him where Rwanda plans to house asylum seekers sent from Britain.
Leaving the busy capital behind, they venture east to a village where they try to create indigenous art. In Akagera, the country's largest national park, they encounter incredible wildlife, including giraffes, impala and lions. After trying to take on the women's national cycling team, the pair head to the National Genocide Memorial Museum to learn more about what happened in 1994.
Romesh is blown away by Rwanda's unique culture and welcoming people but troubled by reports of alleged human rights abuses, including suppression of dissent and invasive surveillance methods. He and Hippo end their Rwandan adventure via a magical encounter with a family of wild gorillas.
Madagascar
Romesh travels to Uganda, Rwanda and Madagascar to find out what each place has to offer.
