'It's the stuff of nightmares' - Toby Jones on the new migrant drama Leave to Remain

'It's the stuff of nightmares' - Toby Jones on the new migrant movie drama Leave to Remain.

Actor Toby Jones (Dobbie from Harry Potter) discusses the migrant movie drama Leave to Remain, filmed with a cast of real refugees. We meet Ghana’s raunchy emerging music star Wiyaala and Spanish author Javier Cercas talks about his new book Outlaws, in which he explores the social boundary between those born into poverty and the lucky few. We discuss the relevance today of Sitt Marie Rose by Etel Adnan, a book set before and after the civil war in the Lebanon, as the country unravels. 

US music producer Rick Rubin has worked with everyone - Eminem, Johnny Cash, Lady Gaga, U2, Metallica.  In a rare and smart interview he explores his approach to the job of producing bands. Canadian musician Chilly Gonzales urges everyone to learn to play the piano and we join Brian Shimkovitz on his search to track down Ata Kak, an obscure African musician with a fanbase of devotees. We hear about New Cinema from Israel with film critic Phillip Bergson, and Irish-born artist Sean Scully discusses the meanings of the colour red.
