[edit] Information

Sara Pascoe is learning how to do the world's most endangered jobs, from ice-carving in Finland to climbing trees to making sweets in Cuba. Chapter 1: Cuba Sara travels to Cuba to learn and try out the unique jobs put at risk by the country's increased exposure to commercialism. Among the workers she meets are a mattress magician, a cigar factory reader and a family who climb giant coconut trees to make a local sweet. Chapter 2: Georgia Sara heads to Georgia, a country on the borders of Russia and the Black Sea, which has drastically modernised in the last decade. As the country moves into the 21st century, it threatens to leave behind some unique jobs with a history going back hundreds of years. Sara gets an insight into Georgia's past by learning some very unusual professions, which include being a gunsmith, a polyphonic singer and a guide at the Stalin Museum. Chapter 3: Finland Sara travels across Finland where she looks at the impact the changing climate is having on the future of the country's traditional jobs. In the south, Sara explores the timber trade by meeting a forest cleaner and a baker. In the north, where temperatures are increasing the most, Sara looks at Lapland's tourism industry by learning some unique jobs including ice carving and being an elf in Santa's village.
