Also on the programme; a visit to the secret city that the US government built for nuclear scientists; a look at the underground railroad that took American slaves to freedom…in Mexico; the story of how Fadi BouKaram, a Lebanese photographer, got his camper van back; plus, we discover the secret venue where Portuguese Fado singers perform when they want to escape the tourists.
