Row Over MSG: Censor Board Autonomy a Farce?
Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:
Row over MSG: Censor Board autonomy a farce?
Censor Board chief Leela Samson quits in a huff after the film Messenger of God is cleared by the film tribunal despite the Censor Board's strong objections. Is this less about the Censor Board and more about government interference in what is supposed to be an autonomous body? Leela Samson speaks to us on the show.
'The Red Sari' is out, finally
Also on the show, the debate over the 'Red Sari', a book on the life and times of Congress President Sonia Gandhi written by the Spanish author Javier Moro. The Congress did not want it to be released when the party was in power. Now, of course, it's a different story. The author Javier Moro joins us later on the programme.
The Dharavi Project by Shekhar Kapur
Shekhar Kapur joins us to discuss his new project, where he gives young musicians and dancers in Asia's largest slum Dharavi an opportunity to showcase their talent, on even a global stage.
