Uncomfortable Truths

Available for over a year

Tales of communal tension - and individual courage - from around the world. In this edition: Quentin Sommerville meets the multi-ethnic force "cobbled together" to fight so-called Islamic State in northeastern Syria; Shaimaa Khalil asks young Afghans how they see their future - whether in Kabul or far away in Europe; Frank Gardner causes a sharp intake of breath at a debate on politics in Bahrain by asking the unspeakable; and Elizabeth Gowing minds her step on the streets of Kosovo, and journeys to the crumbling post-industrial town which once made manhole covers for all Yugoslavia. Presented by Pascale Harter.
