'It's about trying to discover aloneness is what it really is' - Gilliam on his new film

Join Nikki Bedi for an interview with controversial rapper Ice Cube - Ice talks about his new film, Ride Along and his forthcoming album. We discover the story of Calcutta painter Jamini Roy, a pioneer of contemporary art in India, and theatre writer Glen Burger discusses whether the disastrous Broadway show - Spiderman Turn Off The Dark was doomed from the very start. 

Author Helen Oyeyemi talks about her new novel, Boy, Snow, Boy which is a contemporary retelling of the Snow White fairytale set in New York and Massachussets. Film-maker Terry Gilliam talks about his latest sci-fi movie The Zero Theorem, and we hear from Stromae the Belgian-Rwandan musician who is topping the charts across Europe. Plus, we visit a new exhibition of photographs in Nairobi that is challenging pre-conceptions by exploring the lives of male sex workers, and we learn the surprising history of slide guitar.
