Latin America and Caribbean - Rooted 3

Colombia
Eleven-year old Daniela lives in South London but on her trip she goes to Colombia with her dad. She visits the capital Bogota for the first time, and spends time at a club for children whose families have been displaced because of a civil war. She travels to the city of Cali for a family reunion and then stays in the heart of the countryside on a typical farm. She learns how to pick coffee and overcomes her fear of chickens.

St Kitts
Ten-year old Renuka and Hayden Rawlins grew up in Leeds, and make their first visit to the island their father comes from – St Kitts in the Caribbean. On their trip they go out with the local fishermen for the day and catch a spikey Puffa fish, learn how to open coconuts the Caribbean way and visit the largest fort in the region, built by the British, at Brimstone Hill.
