Lives in a Landscape show

Summary: Alan Dein meets Zimbabwean refugee Wilson Magwere. Back home, he and his fellow musicians from the band Storm were regularly called upon to perform at pro-government rallies while all around them they witnessed their family and friends suffer at the hands of Robert Mugabe's regime. It was soon too much to bear and Wilson left his wife and daughter to flee to Belfast, where he's formed a new band and hopes his family might someday join him. Producer: Conor Garrett
