The World

It’s been one year since the financial giant Lehman Brothers collapsed: failing to find a buyer, it was forced to file for bankruptcy. A new BBC radio play, “The Day That Lehman Died”, fictionalizes the behind-the-scenes frenzy of the firm’s final days. Produced by Amanda Aronczyk and Studio 360’s Pejk Malinovski.
