So Many Questions

The gay rights activist from Uganda who found himself the subject of a witch hunt.

We hear from a Ugandan man who is seeking asylum in the US. He says that his work as a gay rights activist has made him a target back home.

Also in the programme, we meet a group of Filipino-Americans in Southern California who come together over their shared love of guns. We connect the dots between New York comedians and jokes from Odessa. Why an Indian business model stumps a professor from one of America’s top business schools. An international circus performer talks about the perils and pleasures of her craft. And, the story of a letter from a Chinese prison that turned up in a New York shopping bag.
