Listen Later

Francine Stock presents a new series in The Film Programme. This Woman's Work is a regular discussion strand with some of the most important women in the British film industry. This week she talks to two producers about their adventures in motion pictures: Elizabeth Karlsen and Serena Armitage.

The Wound is a controversial South African drama about an initiation ceremony for young boys about to enter manhood. The director John Trengove and star Nakhane Toure explain why they think these rites of passage can actually be a good thing.
