Razia Iqbal presents five moments of history as told by the people who were there. We meet the man who created the first high fashion label in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, hear how one woman worked to get corporal punishment outlawed in Scotland, and about a racially motivated murder of a young Bengali man in 1970s London which provoked a massive community response to racism. We also hear from the first female Gazan athlete to lead the Palestinian delegation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and about the invention and medical revolution of the water birthing pool.
