History repeats itself.

First as tragedy,

then as farce,

finally as a bad Hollywood movie.

Ethiopia: A Journey with Michael Buerk

Twenty years ago the BBC's Michael Buerk reported from Ethiopia's "biblical" famine.

In this film, Michael travels back to Ethiopia and talks to many people whose lives have been permanently scarred by the horrific famine. 

They speak of how the suffering has continued while they continue to wait for the rains, a tragic irony in a country known as the "water tower of Africa" because it has the biggest natural reserves of water in the continent.

Michael also follows the story of a young Red Cross nurse forced to choose which starving people would receive scarce food aid and be saved and who would be left to die.
