Francine Stock talks to Forest Whitaker, who plays Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, about how he prepared for the role; and to the director, Kevin MacDonald, about why it was so important to him that he shot the film in Uganda instead of South Africa, a place often used in films as a stand in for other African countries. Francine is joined by novelist and film critic Adam Mars-Jones to discuss the work of Douglas Sirk, a director who, it has been argued, created the genre of the soap. British documentary maker Nick Broomfield explains what inspired him to make a feature film about the events leading up to the Morecambe Bay tragedy in 2004.
