Annual Film Review 2017
Roy Jenkins and guests review some of the films released on DVD in the past year, including A Quiet Passion, Hidden Figures and I, Daniel Blake.
A critical moment in the history of space exploration, one of America's most celebrated poets, and life through the eyes of people battling with the UK's benefits system.
They might appear to have nothing in common beyond their appearance today in the annual All Things Considered film review programme.
In fact, they all have to do with intense struggle, inviting us to enter into it, and offering moments to cheer and to weep, a little laughter along the way, and above all the opportunity to stretch our minds.
Joining Roy Jenkins are the Rev Dr Peter Francis, an Anglican priest and warden of Gladstone's Library at Hawarden, which regularly runs courses on contemporary film and theology; Nigel Ipinson-Fleming, musician and senior pastor of Bethlehem Church Life Centre, Cefn Cribbwr near Bridgend; and the film-maker and writer Angela Graham
