Eric Robson invites people to talk about issues directly concerning them.
Fathers and Daughters
Growing up isn't easy at the best of times. When you've been brought up in a minority community, it can be particularly painful. For girls of Asian origin, the strains of living between two cultures sometimes prove too much.
Brass Tacks visits Leicester where a proposal to set up a hostel for runaway girls has split the Asian communities. Most young Asians see the need for a hostel; for many of their parents, it's an unnecessary complication which challenges both their authority and their culture.
Experts in the Manchester studio are joined by young Asians at the Brass Tacks outside broadcast in Leicester.

After 15 years in Europe as a successful musician, Kisenga returns to his native Africa. There he finds that his tribe is in danger of being wiped out by sleeping-sickness since their witch doctor, Magole, will not let them move to healthier land. Kisenga is helped in his battle against superstition and death by the District Commissioner and a young British doctor. One of Thorold Dickinson 's most distinguished films, this was noted for its beautiful colour photography of Tanganyika and music score by Arthur Bliss.
