Thailand: Red Fever

Channel 4: Unreported World

Reporter Aidan Hartley and director Matt Haan visit Thailand, a country sliding towards political disaster following a series of bomb attacks and violent demonstrations.

Hartley travels from Bangkok into the countryside, where he speaks to the rural power base for the 'Red Shirts' responsible for many of the attacks. They want to depose the current political elite: until recently ordinary Thai people have been unwilling (or afraid) to question their monarch. Now that he lies ill in hospital, they are starting to speak out and take action. If you are a broadcaster who would like to buy this programme please contact Passion Distribution for details:
