called fadia.aker, sarah beddington, the artist — they were in a cafe in beirut 15 years before this film was made, and a woman leant over to sarah and said, "are you happy?" such an interesting intro. and the two struck up a conversation, they struck up a great friendship. sarah ended up going to the camp, finding out more about this very strong personality, fadia, who makes a very interesting subject, i think. and fadia actually asked her to go to her homeland — the homeland she can't visit — in order to find this tree, which is a mulberry tree that's kind of legendary in the family, and it's very much part of her ancestral identity. i think it's a quietly powerful piece of work. for me, it's not up there with other personalfemale—led documentaries we've had recently like i am belmaya, or the wonderful for sama. but i do think that it raises some issues that are interesting, and it's certainly quite moving and a little bit, heartbreaking in places. yes, i think everyone should watch it, in the se

then we've got fadia's tree, which is a documentary about a palestinian refugee, by the artist sarahry about britain's oldest performing drag queen. it's a fantastic mixture — let's start with brad pitt, though. we've got to start with brad pitt. i'm a big fan, i think he's terrific in almost everything i've seen him in, to be honest. he's great in bullet train — as i said, it's based on a novel, ajapanese novel, and it's directed by david leitch, who actually used to be brad pitt's stunt double. which is quite an interesting turnaround. oh, interesting! and since then, he's directed atomic blonde, deadpool 2. i think fans of the tones of those kind of films might want to check this film out. it's set in tokyo on a bullet train with an international cast. brad pitt plays ladybug, who is a hit man who's hired to do what's meant to be a simplejob — go onto the train, get a briefcase, come off the train, deliver it to the right people. simple, i'm sure. not that simple, this being an action thriller. and it turns out there are a lot of other hit men on the train — coincidence or not, tw

called fadia.here with other personal female—led documentaries we've had recently like i am belmaya, or the wonderful for sama. but i do think that it raises some issues that are interesting, and it's certainly quite moving and a little bit heartbreaking in places. yes, i think everyone should watch it, in the sense ofjust reminding ourselves how refugees live. this is someone who can almost see the border of the country she should be living in, but is living her whole life with herfamily in a refugee camp in lebanon — and yet so close to her homeland, which she clearly, of course, as you would, really pines for. and that comes through across the whole film, doesn't it? and that's very powerful and very moving, i think. it's very much about a sense of home, and also, it's interesting, it's contrasted with lots of details about bird migration in the area. so i think perhaps slightly laboured, but interesting symbolism there obviously about the freedom of the birds and the freedom that she doesn't ha
