The Nestle Boycott
1970s consumer pressure on big business, plus child refugees from 80 years ago, an uprising in Central Asia and Dutch Elm disease changing the British landscape.
In the 1970s consumer pressure forced big business to change the way it marketed powdered baby milk in developing countries. Plus, we hear from a child refugee who escaped the Spanish Civil War 80 years ago, a survivor of the 2006 Mumbai train bombings, and stories and songs from an uprising in Central Asia a century ago.
