With Francine Stock.

Nell Dunn talks about her screenplay for Ken Loach's ground-breaking drama Poor Cow, which is back in cinemas only weeks after Loach won the Palme D'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival

Francine hears from the makers of two documentaries about the different ways that smart technology is killing us. The director of Death By Design, Sue Williams, reveals the damage that the production and destruction of phones and laptops is doing to the planet.

The director of Cameraperson, Kirsten Johnson, talks about the impact that filming in war zones and recording victims' harrowing testimonies has had on her personal life.
