Nikki has 2 big interviews with 2 of the biggest names of international cinema.

She speaks with American director/writer/actor/playwright/studio boss and modern day renaissance man, Tyler Perry. His latest film The Six Triple Eight, tells the amazing true story of the only division of the US Army made up entirely of women of colour who served in Europe during the Second World War. Perry’s continual sustained success over decades at the top has made him one of the richest people in the entertainment industry but he’s still keen to invest in new talent in front of camera and facilities and crew behind it

And with Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, Indian film star and director. They talk to Nikki about Laapataa Ladies (Lost Ladies) their light satirical film about two newly-wed young women who manage to accidentally become separated from their husbands and who have to work out how to get back to them. It is comic but also has important messages about feminism, corruption, independence and – above all – love. It was selected as India’s entry to the Oscars.
