Sweet Honey in the Rock A childhood in the Black
American Church of Albany, Georgia taught Bernice Reagon her songs and harmonies, but involvement in the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s taught her how to apply singing to her life. In the 17 years since she formed Sweet Honey in the Rock, the group's call for social justice has remained constant. Their songs span the struggle in South Africa, racism at home, the nuclear threat, but also love and the wonder - and pain - of being a black woman in this world.
Sweet Honey in the Rock has become as historically viable as the National Archive WASHINGTON POST Series producer KEITH ALEXANDER Producer HILARY BOULDING BBC Scotland

Okavango - Jewel of the Kalahari
The first of three programmes written and narrated by Barry Paine Search for the Jewel
Bushbabies, bat-eared foxes and anthill tigers emerge into the Kalahari night. By day only sun and wind embrace this mysterious land. Suddenly a rainstorm transforms the parched earth. With magical timing, millions of flamingoes arrive to feed in the new lakes.
Fresh grass attracts herds of nomadic zebras and wildebeest. But the fierce sun quickly destroys this transient paradise, so in their continuous quest for food the animals must move on or die. Beyond the horizon is an oasis for wildlife, the Okavango Delta. Will they reach their goal, the jewel of the Kalahari? Photography
