Prison writing

This film is part of a longer interview with writers Abdilatif Abdalla and Ngugi wa Thiong’o, conducted during a symposium to honour Abdilatif’s work at the University of Leipzig. The focus of our project was to collect memories held by these two distinguished authors on their time as political writers both in Africa and in the UK.

This film is reproduced here with the kind permission of the filmmakers. Matthew Milbourne, Nathan Edwards and Sybille Biermann are graduates from SOAS and are currently working as writers, researchers and journalists.
