Uganda and India

Available for over a year

In this edition of From Our Own Correspondent, Anna Borzello returns to a place she reported from during some of its darkest days - the town of Gulu in northern Uganda. Back in the 90's this part of the world was in the grip of the Lord's Resistance Army - a brutal group which terrorised communities with killings, mutilation and abduction. But on this journey our correspondent encounters a brand new Uganda. Veteran reporter Mark Tully traces the history of Indian cinema and finds that Bollywood has always had a knack for capturing the nation's most pressing concerns.
