Looking for Martha’s Quilt

Available for over a year

Looking For Martha’s Quilt is a weekend documentary which weaves tales from Liberia, Tennessee and Victorian England. It follows the story of Beryl Dennis from Virginia in the US as she goes in search for this long-lost quilt made by her relative, Martha Ann Erskine Ricks. Producer Penny Dale joins Rajan Datar to give a glimpse into the production process. Also, a listener from New Zealand has concerns that the BBC World Service content he is listening to is not being transmitted properly, while listeners in Northern Ireland, Kenya and Scotland flag up what has caught their attention lately.
