The Light of Experience Revisited

on BBC Two England

Bel Mooney invites five people who first told their story some years ago in The Light of Experience to return to the studio and tell her how they have coped with life since then.
Barney Pityana was once a young lawyer in South Africa, and co-founder with Steve Biko of the Black Consciousness Movement. He was expelled from university, imprisoned, tortured and, on eventual release, banned from practising as a lawyer. He escaped to the United Kingdom with his wife and child and is now an Anglican priest. After four years in this country, how has he coped with voluntary exile and with a conscience torn between survival for his family and sharing in the struggle and suffering of his own people in South Africa?
