Season 4 Episode 6: Teenage Diaries: In and Out of Africa

Josephine Okelo lives in Nairobi, Kenya, with her wealthy family. At 17, feeling the need to establish her own identity, she leapt at the chance of a place at Marlborough College in England. Her film records the experience of her first year. She was amazed by the freedom she found there, but was dismayed by how little anyone knew about Africa and how much prejudice she had to overcome. This made her question some of her own attitudes, especially to the hundreds of thousands of Somalian refugees living in camps in Kenya. During her Easter holidays she set out to meet some of these refugees.
