I May Destroy You: How the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ drama tackles drink spiking and sexual assault

Michaela Coel’s new drama I May Destroy You on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One centres around a writer called Arabella who is drugged and sexually assaulted but has no recollection of the assault except in flashbacks and has to piece together what happened to her. How effective is the way the story is told and what questions does it raise about consent, relationships and the portrayal of women’s everyday lived experience on screen? Jenni Murray talks to Zing Tsjeng, executive editor of Vice UK and the poet Vanessa Kisuule.
