Jelle Brandt Corstius sleeps with them in a traditional yurt. Ruben Terlou speaks Kazakhs who were in the notorious re-education camps in China.

Tikkende tijdbom

Centraal-Azië kent eindeloze vlaktes, valleien en steppen, maar ook een aantal van de hoogste bergen ter wereld. Zo heeft Pakistan ruim 7000 gletsjers; er is geen land waar er meer zijn. Het zijn tikkende tijdbommen. Door de steeds hogere temperaturen smelten de gletsjers sneller dan ooit. Ruben Terlou is in het noorden waar overstromingen regelmatig hele dorpen wegvagen. In de provincie Sindh, de voedselkamer van Pakistan, ziet hij hoe verwoestend de gevolgen van de overstromingen zijn voor de miljoenen mensen die er wonen.
