Stephen Spielberg's new film, Lincoln

Stephen Spielberg's new film about Abraham Lincoln takes us back in time to the American abolition of slavery.

Any Spielberg movie is a big deal. When it's about an American icon - President Abraham Lincoln - and is released so close to an election, it becomes even more monumental. But is it any good?

We hear from one of the photographers who have contributed to Invisible Borders, an exhibition currently on show at the Benin Bienalle.

As a major exhibition of photography from and about the Middle East opens in London, Anna McNamee meets three of the artists from the region.
