Deadliest Journeys

http://current.com/shows/deadliest-journeys/   Americans like to complain about our roads, but compared to some parts of the world, we have nothing to complain about. "Deadliest Journeys" is a documentary style program on the Current network that profiles the worst roads around the world. A recent episode focused on a mountain  road in Pakistan where drivers must endure rockslides, washed-out roads, rickety bridges, scorching heat during the day and freezing temperatures at night.

 

Toilets

The "Current" network is known for its documentaries on subjects that the mainstream media doesn't care to talk about such as human waste AKA shit. Talking about shit is not exactly helpful when you are trying to sell stuff. Current recently broadcast a documentary on shit and water supplies. Over two billion billion around the world do not have toilets and human waste is often disposed of in haphazard and unsanitary ways that leads to water pollution. Water pollution kills thousands of children every year. A small investment by developed nations in the sanitation of developing nations would save many lives and help these nations make faster progress.
