In the first ten minutes of episode 2 of The Science Inside there is a truly heartbreaking bit... it's because we're looking at the science inside South Africa's ARV shortages. We get to the bottom of how the drugs work and where they fail. We look at some of the myths surrounding HIV treatment and celebrate the local research of new kinds of therapies.

We also go out with Professor Lee Berger to explore his phenomenally successful Rising Star Expedition.
