BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Killers of the Flower Moon star Lily Gladstone, author Leo Vardiashvili and the Great Escapes exhibition at Kew

The actress on working with Martin Scorsese, and the new book Hard by a Great Forest.

Native American actress Lily Gladstone on the film Killers of the Flower Moon, Leo Vardiashvili on his novel Hard by a Great Forest and the National Archives' Great Escapes show.

Award-winning actress Lily Gladstone on working with Martin Scorsese and Native American representation in his new film Killers of the Flower Moon.

Leo Vardiashvili chats about his new book set in his hometown of Tbilisi, Georgia in the post-Soviet era. 

Curators William Butler and Roger Kershaw talk about their new exhibition, 'Great Escapes: Remarkable Second World War Captives' at the National Archives at Kew. It explores not just the creativity involved in physically getting away from prison camps, but in making life in confinement more tolerable, and bearing witness. P. G. Wodehouse wrote novels while interned; Peter Butterworth, best-known for his roles in the 'Carry On' films, staged plays in Colditz, the noise of performances masking tunnelling; Ronald Searle found solace in drawing while a prisoner of the Japanese, and his work is an important record of the neglect and ill treatment of fellow prisoners. Importantly, the exhibition includes material about people interned here in the UK.

Presenter: Samira Ahmed
Producer: Julian May
