A university in exile in Lithuania; why dreadlocks aren't always appreciated in Jamaica

The Belarusians seeking intellectual freedom (and for some, retail therapy) in Lithuania; and why dreadlocks don't always go down well in Jamaica.

Pascale Harter introduces stories from Lithuania and Jamaica. Lucy Ash has been meeting the unlikely assortment of Belarusians flocking to Vilnius - some for political and intellectual freedom, but some are just there for the shopping. Meanwhile in Kingston, Nick Davis explores why dreadlocks aren’t always so popular in Jamaica.
