How do we manage our fears of threats?

It's part of contemporary life we experience but are ashamed to discuss. But Nihal Arthanayake wants to talk about the things that are left unsaid: the empty chair next to a person from an ethnic minority on a packed bus or train. Nihal hears from people from around Britain about how the threat of terrorist attacks is making us all frightened of each other's shadows; charting the emotional landscape of Britain at a time of heightened anxiety and distrust.

First broadcast on Frightened of Each Other's Shadows, 8 August 2016.
