Introduction: Fifteen Years On

remember saro-wiwa's podcast

An introduction to an all new series of podcasts to mark the 15th anniversary of the execution of Nigerian writer and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (http://remembersarowiwa.com/). Ben Amunwa, coordinator of the remember saro-wiwa project explains the background to this series of podcasts and shares the experience of what it was like to travel across the Niger Delta interviewing key activists working for social justice. The remember saro-wiwa project is a PLATFORM initiative which brings together research, activism and events to raise awareness about the impact of multinational oil companies in the oil producing Niger Delta. The project is run by the London-based interdisciplinary arts and campaigns group, PLATFORM. Since the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa, PLATFORM's work has focused on holding the oil and gas industry accountable for their infringements of rights worldwide.
