WOUNDED TIGRIS: A RIVER JOURNEY THROUGH THE CRADLE OF CIVILISATION
Broadcaster, explorer and author of Wounded Tigris, Leon McCarron shares stories from his incredible journey along the River Tigris.
The River Tigris, the birthplace of civilisation, has been the lifeblood of ancient Mesopotamia and modern Iraq. Geopolitics and climate change have left it at risk of becoming uninhabitable.
Leon recounts his beautiful and occasionally dangerous journey by boat along the full length of the river. He is harassed by militias and relies on the generosity of a network of strangers to reach the Persian Gulf. He investigates the environmental and geopolitical challenges that threaten the river’s future.
Discover why it’s crucial to save this extraordinary river, and what its survival, or destruction, could mean for us all.
