Diego Bunuel was a war correspondent covering all kinds of unstable areas in the world, such as Iraq, Columbia, and the Congo, for a French news agency. When he went on assignment, he would have the other people in the office keephis nervous mother in the dark about his whereabouts when she called so that she wouldn't see the reports on TV and freak out about her son's safety.
What's unlucky for Bunuel's mother is fortunate for viewers because this month, National Geographic Channel will be airing Don't Tell My Mother 4. Bunuel's goal with every episode is to show that there is more to each country than what makes the headlines. Bunuel starts off by zigzagging his way around the Horn of Africa in a place known for piracy, lawlessness, and Islamicextremism—Somalia. Named the world's most failed state, Somalia has been without a central government since 1991. This has led to militants taking overthe streets and pirates running wild on the seas. Even though he has his flak jacket on tightly and comes under fire in dangerous surroundings, Bunuel shares some laughs with the locals and finds some hidden treasures in Somalia.
In another precariously balanced country, Bunuel takes a wild ride from thematerialistic riches of Moscow to the silent spiritualism of Siberia. Along the trekthrough the nine time zones of Russia, Bunuel experiences ferocious forest fires, meets gun-toting schoolgirls, and even gets to ride camels. Bunuel alsotraverses Indonesia, Kazakhstan, and some of the western states in America. Watch and enjoy the show, but no matter what, don't tell Bunuel's mother where he's gone.
