BBC World Service - The Documentary, World Book Café: PEN

An exploration of Freedom of Expression around the world.

100 years ago English PEN was founded to create a “common meeting ground in every country for all writers.” and it quickly grew into an international organisation.   The organisation has long campaigned for Freedom of Expression for writers.  To mark the centenary, in a special edition of World Book Cafe, Ritula Shah and her guests discuss current threats to Freedom of Expression around the world and hear from writers, including Tsitsi Dangarembga, about the power and importance of storytelling.
