French products boycotted by Muslim nations
Turkey's president calls for a boycott on French products - but do they work?
Turkey's president calls for a boycott on French products - but do they work to stifle business, especially when driven by political or religious reasons?

Cinemas are set to reopen in India, and we look at what it means for the Bollywood film industry, which has suffered hugely from halted productions during the coranavirus pandemic. We discuss all this with guests Tawnell Hobbs from the Wall Street Journal in Dallas, and Mehmal Sarfraz, co-founder of digital news site The Current PK in Lahore.
