Sir Steve McQueen: Great British artist
The artist and film-maker Sir Steve McQueen reflects on his life and career
The working class London kid who became an Oscar winning director, the artistic maverick who became a knight of the realm. Tina Daheley speaks to Sir Steve McQueen about the influences that turned him into one of Britain鈥檚 greatest living artists as a career spanning exhibition of his work opens at London鈥檚 Tate Modern gallery.
Plus the visionary Iranian film-maker and artist Shirin Neshat talks about her latest work, Land of Dreams. She reveals why she has turned her lens to Trump鈥檚 America, to tell the stories of ordinary people, their hopes and dreams and how she hopes art can foster a greater understanding between the United States and Iran.
