Yaa Gyasi, Joshua Oppenheimer, Sol Gabetta

Yaa Gyasi talks about her million dollar selling novel that tackles slavery and Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta

As the latest in the Bourne series of films opens, we hear from director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon about revisiting the famous film creation after such a long gap. We hear about the five golden rules of great hip hop. Film director Joshua Oppenheimer (best known for The Act of Killing) explains how he gets some of his extraordinary documentary footage. And, Argentinian cellist Sol Gabetta insists that Elgar鈥檚 concerto for her instrument can at times sound something out of the cartoon series Tom and Jerry.

Phillip Bergson returns from the Grossmann Fantastic Film and Wine Festival and for Star Trekkers perhaps best of all, is catching up with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto aka Captain Kirk and Mr Spock to hear about Star Trek Beyond.
