Antigua beyond Stanford

Emma Joseph reports for Assignment from Antigua on how people are rebuilding their lives two years on from the collapse of Allen Stanford's business empire.

Texan businessman Allen Stanford built his multi-billion dollar empire over two decades.

When it collapsed two years ago the people of the Caribbean island of Antigua, where he was based, felt the impact most acutely.

He's now in prison in the US facing charges of fraud amounting to $7bn - charges which he denies.

But what of the trail of economic hardship he left behind?

Emma Joseph travels to Antigua to find out.
