George Alagiah died on July 24 2023

Before George Alagiah was known as a BBC newsreader he was a working TV journalist.

In this conversation recorded more than 20 years ago he recounts what Rwanda meant to him. Not a near perfect place to be deported to, but a country that had experienced the most horrendous genocide.

He recounts the effect of constant propaganda. How people can be turned against each other by daily repetition of untruths.

Couldn't ever happen here ......... could it?

George Alagiah reveals himself to be both thought provoking and wise.
