Kolkata with Sue Perkins - Season 1 (2017)

Sue Perkins immerses herself in the complex life of Kolkata. This capital city of West Bengal, formerly known as Calcutta, is reinventing itself as a vibrant new megacity, with a booming property sector and a reputation for eccentricity, culture and tolerance. No other city tells the remarkable story of India more clearly than this colourful city. Through encounters with people from every strata of society, from the richest to the poorest, Sue paints a picture of contemporary India emerging from a brutal colonial past to take its place among the most powerful nations on earth.
