Faultlines, Part One
In these documentaries produced for the BBC World Service, Allan Little travels to what he terms the world's historical “fault lines.” His quest: to look at reasons why the past seems to be continually pushing its way into the present.
PART 1




Allan Little reported from Sierra Leone in the 1990s, during the bleakest times of the conflict that engulfed the country. Now he returns to examine some of the reasons why a place that offered such promise at independence descended into chaos and brutality. Little talks to those who feel their country must move on from being a "victim of colonialism" and take responsibility for its own future.
PART 2






The Manifest Destiny impacted US and Mexican relations in the 19th Century. Allan Little explores whether this doctrine still plays a part in U.S. policy toward Mexico today.
