AFRICAN SUMMER

Since Islamic fundamentalists seized power in Sudan in 1989, the Nuba mountains have been sealed off from the outside world. The government has waged a ferocious campaign against the Nuba people, burning their villages, poisoning their wells and stealing their animals, in an attempt to wipe out the ancient Nuba civilisation and create an Islamic society.
Julie Flint travelled secretly to central Sudan, the only journalist to have gained access both to government- and rebel-held areas of the mountains.
Accompanied by Youssef Kuwa, the charismatic leader of the Nuba rebels, she talks to a senior government officer who defected because of the atrocities he witnessed while serving as a security chief in the Nuba area, and reports on a culture facing annihilation.

Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness", about a journey up what was then the River Congo in central Africa, still attracts admiration and controversy more than 90 years after it was first published. Concerned with man's vulnerability and corruptibility, it was also the inspiration for Coppola's film "Apocalypse Now". The novel draws on Conrad's own experiences in the Congo to tell the story of a search for a European commercial agent who has founded a kingdom based on greed and cruelty in a remote part of Africa.
This film - the first of two "Bookmark" contributions to the African Summer season - uses Conrad's words as the soundtrack for a modern-day journey up the River Zaire, juxtaposing his classic tale of empire, madness and obsession with images from the heart of contemporary Africa.

(The next programme in the African Summer season, "Timewatch", is tomorrow at 7.20pm)
(The second "Bookmark" programme, "Malawi", is on Wednesday at 7.30pm)

Musical biopic of rock legend
Jerry Lee Lewis , starring
Dennis Quaid , Winona Ryder
He was known as "the Killer". When he hammered the keys and belted out the tunes, his fans howled for more. But the scandal of his marriage to a 13-year-old cousin all but killed off his career. This biography concentrates mostly on Lewis's rise and temporary fall between 1956 and 1958, when he made his name playing a raucous version of rock 'n' roll - "the Devil's music", as his cousin Jimmy Swaggart called it. Look out for a cameo from Peter Cook as an English journalist.
Director Jim McBride (1989)
