Tomorrow

Asif Kapadia, one of the most innovative documentary filmmakers in the world, joins Josh in the studio to talk about 'Amy' — his new critically acclaimed film about the late Amy Winehouse. Asif describes the art of putting together a documentary in detail and explains the origins of his unique style of constructing a narrative. The conversation also covers the back story of Asif’s award-winning documentary Senna, the difference between making a documentary and a work of fiction, and the exploitative nature of our relationship to celebrity and stardom.
