The Road To Palmyra

Historian Dan Cruickshank and celebrated photojournalist Don Mccullin travel into the heart of war torn Syria on a dangerous mission to document the cultural destruction wrought by so called Islamic State, and understand what it means to the people of the nation.

Their aim is to reach the ancient city of Palmyra to find out what remains of the ruins after IS fled.
