LegacyAuthor: Original Legacy Productions
Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. Should Nina Simones role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while were at it, was he even short?) Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now and doesnt always like what it sees.
