In Rememberance of Ken Saro-Wiwa Part 1

You've just completed your mock exam on this and I thought it might aid your "contextual" appreciation of the struggle for identity in the 20th and 21st Century if you did a little more background research on where your texts are coming from. Do watch this, although there are some upsetting scenes.
Part 2 seems to be missing from You Tube. Sorry.
