In 1972, the dictator Idi Amin announced that all Asians had just 90 days to leave Uganda.
Teacher Nurdin Dawood, who had a young family, didn't at first believe that Amin was serious.
But soon he was desperately searching for a new country to call home. Farhana Dawood spoke to her father Nurdin Dawood in 2011.
This programme contains descriptions of racial discrimination.
