Some of the survivors of the Rwandan genocide of 1994 have decided that, instead of burying their dead, they want memorials to the victims that incorporate human remains. The hope is that these centres will be places where the genocide will be discussed honestly and openly and where mourners can find the time and space to grieve and at the same time act as a terrible reminder and deterrent. Forensic archaeologist
Margaret Cox travels to Rwanda to advise on how best to preserve and display the bones, producer John Byrne

7/10. Civil-rights campaigner Shami Chakrabarti has chosen to talk to Humphrey Carpenter about the man who invented "Big Brother" and wrote the anti-Stalinist fable Animal Farm. But George Orwell also defended the saturation bombing of German cities and contributed names to a government blacklist of suspected Communists.
