The movie of the same name, narrated by the actor Michael Douglas, won the Oscar for best feature documentary. In recent years Simon has been followed around little-known regions of the world by BBC camera crews making two major television series. In Meet the Stans , Simon visited the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. For the five-part BBC series Places That Don t Exist , Simon travelled to and through a group of unrecognised nations countries so obscure they don t officially exist. Among the destinations visited were Somaliland, Transdniestria, Nagorno-Karabkh, Ajaria and South Ossetia. The Daily Telegraph said it was: "an exemplary series…riveting…eye-opening…remarkable…superb". The series won a prestigious award from the One World Broadcasting Trust "for outstanding contribution to greater world understanding".
