Fatima the Film; Tik Tok Anti-Semitism and Methodist Gay Marriage Vote

BBC Radio 4 - Sunday, Fatima the Film; Tik Tok Anti-Semitism and Methodist Gay Marriage Vote

A look at the ethical and religious issues of the week with William Crawley.

Marco Pontecorvo, a director best known for his award winning work on television, including Rome and Game of Thrones, talks to Sunday about his new film Fatima. It tells the story of three Portuguese shepherds who reported visions of the Virgin Mary more than a hundred years ago. 

Jewish TikTok video makers say measures to protect them against anti-Semitism on the app are actually stopping them speaking about their faith.  BBC digital journalist, and TikTok user, Sophia Smith-Galer tells William what's going on.

And an exclusive interview with the first Black female president of the Methodist Conference ahead of a momentous vote on same-sex marriage. William discusses the vote with Reverend Sonia Hicks as well as her hopes of what she'll achieve in post.
