Ep 48 - Uganda 2 Norway

On 1 December 1972, Rodney Lobo arrived in Bergen, Norway as a person with an undetermined nationality. Meanwhile, his sisters Mariette and Lynette went to India with their parents. Two and a half years later, the family were reunited in Norway.

In episode 48, Uganda 2 Norway, Mariette and Rodney Lobo speak about their life in Uganda and how they ended up in different countries as a result of the expulsion.

“Fifty years ago, we were treated with a lot of kindness and curiosity. We were the first wave of non-white immigrants to arrive in Norway.”

They also discuss the changing perceptions of immigrants and attitudes towards them in this Scandinavian nation.
