Synopsis

Tézenas has visited over a dozen major sites of dark tourism across the world – from Cambodia to Rwanda, Lebanon to Lithuania, Ukraine to the United States. Yet dark tourism is not a new phenomenon and similar sites have attracted human interest for many years. It seems that death and disaster have maintained a lasting appeal.
