Indonesian’s independence and the last Olympic art competition

The History Hour

We hear about the founding father of Indonesian independence.

Then, we look at how 'spray on skin' was used after the 2002 Bali bombings.

Next, we hear about the last ever Olympic art competition.

Plus, the most decorated Paralympian in history.

And, the Brazilian singer who earned the title Queen of Samba.

Max Pearson presents a collection of this week's Witness History and Sporting Witness interviews. Our guest is Professor of Indonesian history, Kirsten Shulze from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
