There was a ‘physical fight’ on our girls weekend away

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

A new film on Netflix called Wine Country is about a group of friends who go for a weekend away in Napa Valley to celebrate a 50th birthday. Predictably, wine is drunk, singing and dancing ensues and tensions arise. Why do trips with female friends so often follow this formula, and why, despite the potential for messy fall-outs, do we still love a weekend away with the girls? Woman's Hour’s Jenni Murray talks to actor Arabella Weir and Tianna Johnson, the founder of Black Girls Camping Trip.
