Laura | 337 comments I have just seen a great documentary called Africa Turns the Page presented by David Olusoga. It focuses on the novels that shaped the continent. It is available on the BBC and I am hoping that it will be published on YouTube. If you can watch it, it's really worthwhile. Shown in October 2021.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Unfortunately I can't receive the BBC on TV and online it is not possible to receive the programme if one is outside of the UK :( But I hope it eventually turns up on youtube...
