Who Tells The Story?

Reclaiming national narratives in the UK and Jamaica.

Artists, writers and musicians are taking back control of the narratives of their home countries.

British actor and director Simon McBurney asks what artists can - and should - do to unify the UK now that it has voted to leave the European Union.

Also on the programme, Jamaican writer Nicole Dennis Benn explains why she wanted to give prominence to often unheard voices in her debut novel Here Comes the Sun, Ghanaian singer Wiyaala reveals how she went from a TV talent show to singing songs about forced marriage, and from Texas, Miroslav Penkov explains what he thinks a new campus gun law will do to the culture of his university.

With Tina Daheley.
