This ten-part series gives African political figures a rare opportunity to address the British public on a key issue facing their continent. The first programme features the former President of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda, who at the age of 71 has decided to make a political comeback. He explains his belief that there are some circumstances in which Africans are forced to resort to the bullet rather than rely on the ballot.

The television adaptation of composer and explorer David Fanshawe's choral work, African Sanctus, which incorporated traditional African music into a setting of the Latin Mass, was first broadcast 20 years ago and was hailed as a triumph. Now African Sanctus Revisited traces his many journeys along the Nile making recordings for the piece.
Segments of the earlier film have been adapted for the nineties and, inspired by the tragedy of Rwanda, Fanshawe has expanded his original work to include an entirely new movement called Dona Nobis Pacem, A Hymn for World Peace, sung by Wilhelmenia Fernandez. The music is performed by the 200-strong Bournemouth Symphony Chorus and choristers from St George 's Chapel, Windsor, with the African Sanctus Ensemble conducted by Neville Creed . Director Herbert Chappell ; Producer Robin Lough
