Dear Mervyn, These Grenada Television series on End of Empire have been around a long time and are worth watching because they represent all points of view: the rulers and the ruled.
While you can relate to the Kenya situation, I have immensely enjoyed all the other episodes as well - their smooth or ignonimous exits from places like Iran (Abadan), Yemen, Iraq, Cyprus, the Trucial States, Egypt, Palestine, Rhodesia, the Gold Coast and of course the India-Pakistan tragedy. If a knowledgeable person can sit with and use these Television series with some interested, eager young minds who will question this incident or that within it, a better learning experience than any classroom time can be imparted. Regards and good health.
