The Four Freedoms discussion
Anita Anand is joined by the 2022 Reith Lecturers: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Rowan Williams, Darren McGarvey and Fiona Hill, to discuss the major themes from their lectures.
The 2022 Reith Lecturers discuss what FDR's Four Freedoms mean now. Anita Anand is joined by the four lecturers: best-selling author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams: writer and campaigner Darren McGarvey: and foreign affairs expert Fiona Hill. Together they reflect on where the major themes of their lectures overlap and differ, amidst the threats to freedom in our contemporary world. The lecture series was inspired by Franklin D Roosevelt鈥檚 State of the Union speech of 1941 in which he outlined four freedoms which are vital to democracy - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.
