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. |
