When a Pope dies, a centuries old ritual begins. While roughly 1.4bn Catholics all over the world might mourn their leader, a secret struggle for power begins in the Vatican City. In the following two or three weeks, 252 cardinals gather in the Sistine Chapel to debate and vote in strict secrecy for a new pope, and the future of the Catholic church.

This series of 20 programmes is based on a unique project, overseen by UNESCO known as the GHA: the General History of Africa - Africa’s history, culture and heritage written and told by Africans themselves. Zeinab Badawi travels across more than thirty countries in west, east, central and southern Africa and explores the continent’s history from the beginning of time to the modern era with the goal to 'set history straight'. She captures key moments in Africa’s history in her conversations with Africans from all walks of life including leading historians from across Africa and she brings alive some of the lesser known heroes and heroines of the continent’s past. This is a search for truth and identity - uncovering hidden chapters and perspectives of Africa’s history and revising distorted interpretations. #SetHistoryStraight
