An introduction to an all new series of podcasts to mark the 15th anniversary of the execution of Nigerian writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (http://remembersarowiwa.com/). Ben Amunwa, coordinator of the remember saro-wiwa project explains the background to this series of podcasts and shares the experience of what it was like to travel across the Niger Delta interviewing key activists working for social justice.
