Escaping Idi Amin

Manny Masih speaks to executive producer Nacressa Swan about Escaping Idi Amin.

In 1972, tens of thousands of Asians were given just 90 days to leave Uganda under Idi Amin's orders. A new two-part BBC documentary, Escaping Idi Amin, explores the extraordinary stories of those who were forced to abandon their homes and rebuild their lives in Britain. BBC's Manny Masih speaks to executive producer Nacressa Swan about the making of the documentary and why these stories still matter today.
