She shares with us how she becomes inspired by projects, and her hope that Ridley Road will "help Britain to see itself". We hear Sarah's insightful analysis about the need for increased sex workers' rights, and how her activism has influenced her creative work. Sarah also talks about the psychology of being on set, where the need to be uninhibited can leave one vulnerable. She explains how glad she is to have the structures and support systems in place that have derived from #MeToo, as well as her experience of sisterhood among cast and crew members that has developed in recent years. Top critics Leslie Felperin and Beth Webb join Anna for an overview of the London Film Festival, followed by reviews of two very different new female-directed releases: I Am Belmaya and Never Gonna Snow Again. They discuss a breadth of topics from the joy of seeing a film about female empowerment through filmmaking, to the subtleties of satire and varied portrayals of motherhood.
