But how far should we go in manipulating animals that serve us so well?

Ray still lives in its capital, Calcutta, the setting for his first feature for five years, An Enemy of the People, currently in the London Film Festival. He spoke there to Omnibus about a distinguished life in cinema. Film editor DAVID KITSON Producer ADAM LOW
