When Mary Beard met Steve McQueen

In a special programme to close this series, Mary is in the company of award-winning film maker and Turner Prize-winning artist Steve McQueen. His films, including Hunger, Shame, and Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave, reveal a director who wants to tell powerful stories that have not been heard, focusing on those who rarely get a voice. In a long conversation that is both personal and political, Mary and Steve discuss his views on growing up in London, and his new BBC One anthology series Small Axe. Set from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, each film tells a different story involving racism and discrimination in London's West Indian community.
