Isabel Sandoval: Finding my place in film
Isabel Sandoval on politics, immigration and filmmaking in the USA
A deftly woven tale of love and inequality for a Filipina transwoman living under the radar in New York. The director Isabel Sandoval talks to Tina Daheley about her new film, Lingua Franca, a personal and politically charged insight into racial discrimination and immigration in 21st-century America.
The Brazilian rapper and musician Edgar speaks to the 成人快手's Frank McWeeny about a life of struggle and inequality in the favelas of Sao Paulo, and why he is making music that reflects politics and sexuality in Bolsonaro鈥檚 Brazil.
Iranian poet and writer Golnoosh Noor discusses her new collection of short stories The Ministry of Guidance, which explores queerness and sexuality in Iran. She tells Tina why she wants to challenge the often simplistic mainstream narratives about Iran, to give a more nuanced depiction of a complex country.
Plus the South African writer Jamil Khan writes a letter to his younger self reflecting on the journey he has taken to being open about his sexuality.
