King Zog - And Time to Leave

Available for over a year

It's the mid-1990s. Joanna Robertson lives in tumultuous Albania, where she's moved to be a journalist. King Leka Zogu returns from exile in a quest to regain his throne. Joanna meets the king as he campaigns in rural, monarchist strongholds ahead of a national referendum. But the country is unpredictable and dangerous, still in the throes of anarchy and violence, largely controlled by armed criminal groups. Does Joanna now know too much? When she’s the target of a shooting, and is later ambushed at gunpoint, she has to ask - has the time come to leave? Presenter: Joanna Robertson Producer: Arlene Gregorius Photo: 'Theth - waiting for transport’ by Stan Sherer, from the book ‘Long Life to Your Children!’
