If you Google Grenada you will get an island in the Caribbean. I think it is Granada TV?

Re: [Goanet] End of Empire
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.

[Goanet] End of Empire
Thanks Roland for posting that link which I hadn't seen before - however, it brought back many memories of the difficult period we lived through. Some of my former Kenya colonial bosses appear in the film as also Fitz D'Souza, Kapila and Sir Michael Blundell who was at one time my Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture. Seeing Kenyatta and the 'Kapenguria 6' took me back to the daily scenes I witnessed as they were brought out from their cells to Court in Kapenguria, passing through my government quarter each morning! Memories. Mervyn Maciel
[Goanet] End of Empire: Kenya
As a triology to Albert Peres’ link to the life and times of Karen Dixen in Kenya and Tony’s De Sa’s trip to and pics of the Karen Estate, here is a Granada Television series End of Empire about the British end and exit from Kenya. https://youtu.be/QTtD8bxROmI Roland. Toronto.
