Alexander Solzhenitsyn revisited
|
Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died at the age of 89. His work is testament to the power of the written word to change the world. We revisit a powerful program on Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, first broadcast in 2007. Master interviewer Terry Lane interrogates a great work of art, and the uncompromising life of its creator.
