Napoleon Written and narrated by John Julius Norwich.
The first black republic in the world, Haiti, was born in 1804 from a slave rebellion.
The man who led that revolt was himself a former slave - Toussaint l'Ouverture. Once they had tasted freedom, the blacks fought desperately to retain it. Napoleon Bonaparte , however, was determined to reduce Toussaint, 'this gilded African' as he called him, to submission.

Without Prejudice.
Most people believe that
British justice is, above all, just. If you're black, however, you're more likely to be arrested, more likely to be prosecuted, more likely to go to prison, and more likely to receive a longer sentence than if you are white, say barristers and solicitors of the Society of Black Lawyers. Using this Open Space, they argue that there is something dangerously wrong at the heart of our criminal justice system - that white Britons are sending black Britons to prison at a rate that condemns the system itself as racist.
Film cameraman GEORGE MORSE Film editor PETER CLARKE
Executive producer TONY LARYEA Producer MIKE MACCORMACK
Open Space is the series where the public can make programmes under their own editorial control helped by the Community Programme Unit.
