What Susan did on Death Row
Susan Kigula led a choir, got a degree and changed Ugandan law as she waited to be hanged.
Ugandan Susan Kigula was a young mother when she was sentenced to hang for murder. She always maintained her innocence and sang songs of sorrow in a choir she formed with her fellow inmates on death row. Behind bars Susan also started a school and completed a law degree, but it's what she did next which would change the lives of more than 400 other inmates, as well as the law of the land. This programme was first broadcast on 2nd June 2018.
