A narrow patch of Congo-Brazzaville lies on the equator, but locals blame foreigners for an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus and the crew are told they could be attacked and killed if they land their small plane, so the next stop is the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). DRC is the size of western Europe and at least 4m people have died there since 1998 in the deadliest conflict since World War II. Simon meets villagers who tell him about the fighting and take him to a mass grave. On a personal note this doc series is my fav. right now
