''Frontiers'' is an eight-part BBC television series, and accompanying book, that explored the geographic boundaries between different countries in the world. Eight writers and journalists in a variety of countries investigated the economic, political, geographical and historical reasons that account for why people are divided. The series was produced in 1989 - just a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was featured in one episode. * "Natural Break": Frederic Raphael explored the Pyrenees, the frontier between France and Spain, which at the time was preparing to join the (then) European Economic Community. * "Gone Tomorrow": John Wells covered the Iron Curtain that split East and West Germans. * "Gold and the Gun": Nadine Gordimer visited the war-torn border area between Mozambique and her native South Africa. * "Night and Day": Richard Rodriguez showed how the rich North and poor South converged at the US/Mexican border. * "Long Division": Ronald Eyre looked at the people living on both sides of the border in Ireland that splits the Republic from Ulster. * "Big Brother's Bargain": Nigel Hamilton hiked up the boundary between Russia and Finland. * "Border Run": Jon Swain visited the Thai/Cambodian border where thousands of Cambodian refugees had been stranded for over ten years. * "Stranded in Time": Christopher Hitchens investigated the divided island of Cyprus. ==Further reading== * Frontiers, published in 1990 by BBC Books, ISBN 978-0-563-20701-6 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frontiers (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
