The Kenyan Film on the Verge of Oscar Glory

We meet the makers of the Kenyan/German film nominated for an Oscar.

Could the makers of the Kenyan/German short film Watu Wote be on the path to Oscar glory? The film about a bus attack in Kenya has been nominated in the best short live action film category. We speak to two of its producers, Tobias Rosen and Bramwel Iro, as they prepare for the Academy Awards.

We go behind the lens with the Ethiopian photographer Aida Muluneh, who is aiming to share a more positive image of her country.

Is it le or la? The writer Agnes Poirier sheds light on the gender debate that is tearing up the rules of French grammar.

Plus the best-selling writer Jussi Adler Olsen shares his story of the song that gave him light during a dark time.

Presented by Tina Daheley.
