Cathy Brady's Wildfire, Mick Fleetwood on Peter Green, Jean Paul Belmondo obit.

Mick Fleetwood on Peter Green and a star-studded concert celebrating his legacy, Cathy Brady on her new film Wildfire, and we pay tribute to French film star Jean Paul Belmondo.

Guitarist Peter Green last performed with Fleetwood Mac, the band he help found, in 1970. Fellow founding-member Mick Fleetwood has honoured Green's legacy in an all-star concert that will be shown in cinemas, celebrating the band's early music. Mick Fleetwood talks to Samira about the early days of Fleetwood Mac, working with Peter, and dreams of a Fleetwood Mac reunion.

Filmmaker Cathy Brady has already won international prizes for her short films.  Now she’s made her debut feature film, Wildfire. An exploration of the relationship between two sisters in a Northern Ireland town as they try to come to terms with the aftermath of The Troubles they were too young to remember but which had a direct impact on their family.

The death of French cinema star Jean Paul Belmondo was announced. He was 88. We speak with Agnes Poirier in Paris about his long career and about what made him such a star.
