Cynon Valley MP, Ann Clwyd, has travelled the world in her long-running campaign to support people in need, and because of that, has visited some very dangerous places.
"As a former journalist I want to see for myself the dangers that destroy countries and their people," she says.
In the documentary Taith Ann Clwyd (Ann Clwyd's Journey) we'll follow Ann as she returns to one of those countries, Cambodia. The journey gives her an opportunity to look back at her political career and discuss what has inspired her over the years.
Over 20 years have passed since Ann's first visit to a country almost decimated by a series of wars. When she first went there in 1987 on a trip organised by Oxfam, Cambodia was in a terrible state.
Two million people had been killed and the capital, Phnom Phen, was half empty after the city's residents had been driven away during the time of the Khmer Rouge and their leader, Pol Pot.
In this return journey to Cambodia, Ann experiences the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge as well as the efforts being made to help the country deal with the pain of the past. She also has an opportunity to look back over her 30 years as a politician. As she travels, she remembers the people and experiences that have influenced her during her career, including her stand in support of the workers of Tower Colliery in her constituency.
Ann's first experience of Cambodia acted as a catalyst which led her to battle in support of human rights all over the world.
During the programme, Ann meets the Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen, and attends a special tribunal which aims to prosecute some former leaders of the Khmer Rouge. She visits Tuol Seng prison, which reminds her of a similar prison in Northern Iraq where the Kurds were abused by Saddam Hussein's officers.
Ann also visits the Prey Veng region where a charity set up by an old friend is helping the country's young people.
Programme producer and director, Wynford Jones says, "The trip to Prey Veng, to see the hope of a new generation, was the ideal way to end the journey."
