Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
The disappearance of the Aral Sea in Central Asia is one of the world’s greatest man-made disasters. In Kazakhstan, with the help of the World Bank, more than $80million have been spent trying to save the most northern part of the sea but this has only benefited a few hundred people. In this film, we speak to people still living in deserted fishing ports, to see how their lives have changed, and to find out whether they believe that they’ll ever see the sea again.
