Hot-Spotting

In his 25-year journey through hot spots across the globe, Rod Reeve has become one of Australia's most experienced foreign-aid workers. Managing international aid projects has taken him from the opium fields of the Hindu Kush, to Iraq in the time of Saddam Hussein, the jungles of Papua New Guinea, and Aceh following the 2004 tsunami. In "Hot-Spotting" he reveals the dramas and complexities of working in the provision of international aid, and takes us behind disturbing news footage to connect with ordinary people living in some of the world's most troubled locations.
