Ugandan Events: The National Archives Panel Discussion.

The National Archives Panel Discussion was held at The National Archives in London on Saturday 26th November 2022 - to mark the 50th anniversary of the expulsion of Ugandan Asians in 1972.
Ugandan Events is a series of videos which also includes Ugandan Journeys and Ugandan Diaries to document the stories of British volunteers who aided the Asian migrants forced to leave Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972/3. The programmes further include testimonies from residents and people who worked in the camps.
This oral history project - British Ugandan Asians at 50 (BUA50.ORG) - is the production of the India Overseas Trust with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It is an integral part of British volunteering heritage and an extraordinary historical episode that helped shape
modern Britain's diversity.

Uganda Asian story could have been about loss and despair, but it's about hope and recovery
