The Journey – A Changing Southampton
Ep 3 – “The Journey out of East Africa” Part 1

The 3rd episode from our 18 month project ‘The Journey – A Changing Southampton’ made possible by monies received from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

In this episode, our interviewees from East Africa retell the various reasons for leaving their homes. Some decided to join family members who had already settled overseas, others went to seek employment or education and then there were those in Uganda…

For the Asians who had grown up in Uganda, the year of 1972 changed their lives forever; it was when Idi Amin announced they had just 90 days to leave.

This episode touches on the highs and lows of leaving East Africa. We hear from Kavita – an amusing and memorable journey.

We are also invited to share Ravi’s experience – one he may prefer to forget…
