Jude Law
'I've always wanted to direct' - Jude Law
We meet Somi, the first East-African musician signed to a major record label. Also, with the international release of the film The Butler we explore the advances made by African-Americans in culture 鈥� and how far there is to go. The director, Lee Daniels, tells us that to succeed as an African-American artist you must pretend that racism does not exist. In music, Alvin Hall traces the birth of hip hop and asks whether, with the success of entrepreneurs like Jay Z, African-Americans are now powerful business players.
Jude Law explains that as his hairline recedes, the offers for better acting roles advance. And, we get news of a new literary prize in China. Plus, photographer Jimmy Nelson talks about meeting Monglolian Kazakhs on the mountain top at dawn, as he captures the traditions of tribal cultures.
