鈥楢 Very British Way of Torture鈥�: Researching for a TV documentary
PhD student Niels Boender had a chance to research for, and be part of, the Channel 4 and Al Jazeera documentary 鈥楢 Very British Way of Torture鈥�, also featuring Professor David Anderson. The documentary focuses on the use of torture by the British colonial authorities in Kenya against members of the anti-colonial Man Mau movement, and traces the historical research into official British attempts to cover this up. Niels reflects on the research here.
