Tony Robinson's Forgotten War StoriesSeason 1, Episode 6 - Mau Mau

When British rulers implemented harsh economic and social reforms in 1950s Kenya, the Mau Mau uprising was born.

The British reaction led to torture, death and subjugation, which was hidden away from the history books for half a century.
