Another chance to see Witness History's Farhana Haider at the People's History Museum in Manchester, looking back at five extraordinary campaigns and protest movements headed by women, including the South Asian women workers who led a strike against poor working conditions in a British factory. We also speak to one of the women fighting for the equal right to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. We meet the forensic anthropologist in Argentina, who founded a team dedicated to digging for evidence of crimes against humanity. In Canada, we speak to one of the Mohawk activists who spent months in a standoff with the country's military over plans to develop a golf course on sacred burial ground. Also, how an anti-war march turned into a peace camp that endured for nearly 20 years outside an American air base in rural England.
