Matthew Sweet talks to the singer, actor and civil rights campaigner Harry Belafonte. The man who described Colin Powell as behaving like 'a house slave' over the war with Iraq talks about his long campaigning history, from ground breaking films like Island in the Sun which pushed at the boundaries of acceptable depictions of race relations to his role as a leading anti apartheid campaigner and close friend of Martin Luther King. He tells Matthew how he and Sidney Poitier were like Apollo astronauts, sharing a pioneering role that's hard for anyone else to understand.

And as British race relations films Sapphire and Flame in the Streets are re-released Matthew is joined by film historian Stephen Bourne, anthropologist Kit Davis and actress Adjoa Andoh to discuss the films.
