ACCESS ASIA © FRANCE 24

In this week’s show, our reporters head to Pakistan’s Swat Valley. Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, violence by extremists has skyrocketed in the border area. Next, we see how Indonesia is moving its capital from Jakarta. We investigate the ecological impact of building a new city in the rainforests of Borneo. Finally, we talk to film critic Tanul Thakur in New Delhi about the Golden Globe-winning movie “RRR”. We ask him if the film’s runaway success could give a boost to India’s film industry internationally.
