Jon Snow comes out of retirement for one last investigation, travelling to Zambia to uncover a mining disaster being covered up by officials.

The veteran war correspondent and news anchor first learns of the story while visiting Zimbabwe, and what begins as a lead becomes a year-long pursuit to expose how a Chinese-owned mine has decimated a community's land and water. With his wife Precious by his side, Snow pursues the story with the same tenacity that defined his decades on screen. A Last Big Story is a testament to a lifetime spent shining a spotlight on vital stories that needed to be told.
