The Film Programme - Generation Wealth

Lauren Greenfield exposes Generation Wealth, the consumer culture of excess, pornography, and cosmetic surgery for pets, and tells Francine Stock why she trained the lens on herself as part of her documentary.

Director Leslie Harris explains why she never made another film after her award-winning, ground-breaking debut Just Another Girl On The I.R.T. 26 years ago. And why producers are reluctant to finance movies with an African-American woman as the lead.

Composer Neil Brand reveals why the score for Spirited Away was a game-changer for children's animation.
