Rights and responsibilities

Description

In a society that is so economically, racially, and culturally diverse, how hard should people pursue individual and group rights? Does humanity's modern obsession with rights create a self-obsessed world preoccupied by victimhood? Archbishop Rowan Williams thinks so, and worries that rights groups become static whenever civil liberties are obtained. Filmed at Lambeth Palace, this multifaceted program examines the conflicting ideals between group rights and the Anglican church as Williams argues his point to controversial civil rights lawyer Imran Khan, and to philosopher Jonathan Ree.
