Sarah Wilkinson is an British activist who began her career as a graphic designer and illustrator, before branching into journalism and editing. She has been a supporter of Palestine for 50 years, and a vocal pro-active campaigner since the First Intifada - here she speaks with me as an activist with Palestine Action, a direct action group campaigning for a free Palestine.

Dr Matthew Alford is a lecturer in politics at Bath University, an author, documentary film maker and a leading authority on the governments relationship with Hollywood. In this episode we chat about how Chomsky's Propaganda Model applies to movie making in maintaining America's image both at home and around the world using real examples from movies such as Top Gun, American Sniper, Hulk, Independence Day, Meet The Parents and Iron Man. Matthew explains how the department of defense, the CIA and the police all have roles in shaping the scripts and the production of movies so that they conform to the preferred narrative of american foreign policy and domestic propaganda. We also chat about the music industry, Bollywood, social media and much more. Matthew Alford can be found at :
