Boots Riley on his anti-capitalist satire Sorry to Bother You

With Antonia Quirke

Musician and director Boots Riley explains how he managed to get the American film industry to fund his ferocious anti-capitalist satire Sorry To Bother You.

Alfonso Cuaron reveals just how autobiographical Roma,  his tale of life in Mexico City in the 70s really is, and just how much  power a blockbuster like Gravity gives a director.

In the latest part of the series Screen Reflections, writer Gena-Mour Barrett reveals how the sight of Whoopi Goldberg in a nun's habit in Sister Act changed the way she thought about herself.
