The Arts HourAvailable for over a year
Nikki Bedi is joined by film director Tina Satter, whose utterly superb film Reality is a verbatim account of a whistleblower collared by the FBI. Together with film critic Rich Cline, they discuss American singer-songwriter Kesha shedding her pop- star skin, film director Marielle Heller on the tyranny of censorship, and Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto on his band 13 Seconds to Mars. Also Sudanese film-maker Mohamed Kordofani on his feature debut which is the first Sudanese film in official selection at the Cannes Film Festival. And... music from Mariachi Las Adelitas, the only female Mariachi band in Europe.
