By Simon Reeve"British journalist and broadcaster Reeve...journeys along the southernmost border of the tropics as a follow-up to his expedition for the BBC series Equator. The Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer bookend a section of the globe that is 3,222 miles wide, "a home to extraordinary natural biodiversity, but an overwhelming concentration of human suffering." In this region, only Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan can claim to have economies described as "high-income." Aiming to explore the various socioeconomic conditions plaguing this region and to understand the ailments of these lands, Reeve begins his journey in Africa and moves east to Australia and South America, finishing in the favelas (slums) of São Paulo, considered one of the most dangerous places on the planet."
