Looking for mushrooms, finding happiness

We're journeying into hidden worlds, exploring nature that offers
much more than what initially meets the eye. We travel to
locations that continue to thrive against the odds.


When Long Litt Woon's life drastically changed, she turned to the
secretive world of mushrooms to manage her grief. She tells us
how these visible fungi are just one tiny part of a vast and
complex organism that lives beneath our feet.


We'll hear how a crew member filming the latest David
Attenborough series, A Perfect Planet, managed to document the
life of a creature measuring the size of an apostrophe: the fig
wasp.


Finally we go to Ethiopia, where small pockets of forest
surrounding churches continue to thrive.
