Imagine... visits legendary Egyptian author Nawal El Saadawi at home in Cairo, and travels with her to the village where she was born.

The Egyptian author Nawal El Saadawi is a global legend, as outspoken, hilarious and totally un-self-censored at 85 as she ever was, she remains a force of nature. Imagine... visits her at home in Cairo and travels with her to the village where she was born. A writer of over 50 books and a winner of numerous international awards, she is famed as a pioneer in the fight against female genital mutilation, to which she herself was subjected. In this edition of the programme, she addresses some of the world's biggest challenges in a surprising and personal way.
