On this episode of the podcast, the creator of the BBC One drama, Ridley Road, speaks with HOPE not hate's Nick Ryan.A four-part show which premiered last October, Ridley Road is set in London's East End and tells the story of a young Jewish woman's involvement in the 62 Group; an organised antifascist contingent taking the fight to Colin Jordan's National Socialist Movement in the early 1960s London. The show was adapted for television by Sarah from a 2014 book of the same name written by the Brighton author Jo Bloom and is still available to view on iPlayer.During the course of the chat about the show with Nick Ryan, Sarah also discusses the challenges of creating characters with empathy, Judaism, the theatre, surviving in Trump's America and her new shows looking at the #MeToo movement, the life of Trump's women and her project looking at one of Afghanistan's most inspirational female leaders.--♪ Highball (Prod. by Lukrembo) Link : https://youtu.be/sBJ2bUIVcwI

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of Ridley Road. Both sides of Sarah Solemani's family have roots in the Ridley Road area of London, so when she read author Jo Bloom's haunting novel, Ridley Road, she saw personal elements in the story. Still, the narrative on screen in her new miniseries — a young Jewish woman caught up in anti-fascist espionage — casts a wider and more thrilling net.

On vous avait mentionné Ridley Road à l'occasion du festival Series Stories de Marseille, qui met en avant les adaptations de livres en série, et l'adaptation du roman de Jo Bloom arrive sur Canal+ dès le 7 février. Ce drame de la BBC ne se déroule pas pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, mais bien dans les années 60 durant les swinging sixties. À cette période-là, un regain pour le néo-nazisme gagne l'Angleterre notamment dans les milieux ouvriers. Direction Londres, où une jeune femme juive orthodoxe a fugué de son Manchester natal pour retrouver l'homme dont elle est amoureuse. Entre espionnage, résistance et romance, Ridley Road pave le chemin pour un bon divertissement. https://youtu.be/y-Aqb8sS5cg Une plongée authentique dans le Londres de 1962 Une production léchée, des costumes d'époque qui feraient pâlir d'envie le Last Night in Soho d'Edgar Wright, ce Ridley Road de Sarah Solemani (vue dans Bridget Jones 2) peut se tarir de faire partie des high-end dramas britanniques. L'héroïne (une toute nouvelle venue en Agnes O'Casey qui n'a pas dit son dernier mot) est jeune, naïve, mais gagne rapidement en maturité et surtout en courage tout au long de la série. Vivien découvre rapidement que le voyou dont elle est amoureuse appartient au mouvement de la résistance juive, dont la branche est-londonienne est menée par nul autre que son oncle (Eddie Marsan bientôt à l'affiche du film de Ray Donovan). Il a réussi à infiltrer un groupe néo-nazi mené par Colin Jordan (un Rory Kinnear cruel aux antipodes de Penny Dreadful). Cette organisation fasciste qu'est le groupe 62 a vraiment existé, tout comme les manifestations de 1962 à Trafalgar. Ça résume bien Ridley Road, qui floute son histoire fictive avec des contours historiques pour une immersion complète. Un drame rempli d'action L'action est assez prenante et on va suivre Vivien dans la gueule du loup, où elle va commencer à devenir une agente infiltrée. Si par moment tout semble un peu trop simple, cela n'enlève rien au charme de l'histoire, et surtout en suspens. On garde également dans un coin de tête que cette montée du fascisme peut arriver n'importe quand et n'importe où. D'où la facilité de faire un parallèle avec la montée des extrêmes d'aujourd'hui à peu près partout dans le monde. Eh oui, 39-45 a beau être derrière nous, la haine envers les minorités devient de plus en plus flagrante de nos jours et la résonance de la série n'en est que plus forte. Un petit geste peut faire beaucoup. Ridley Road est disponible à partir du 7 février sur Canal+ au rythme de deux épisodes par semaine et en intégralité sur myCanal.

As BBC drama Ridley Road reaches its finale, writer Sarah Solemani joins me to talk about making it, Anglo-Jewish trauma, and her favourite film moments, from Life Is Beautiful to Oliver! and a sexy night with Volver. In film-related activities, I review new play The Shark Is Broken and tour round The French Dispatch exhibition.Music by Lee Rosevere. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sarah Solemani joins Girls On Film to talk to us about Ridley Road, which she wrote. She shares with us how she becomes inspired by projects, and her hope that Ridley Road will "help Britain to see itself". We hear Sarah's insightful analysis about the need for increased sex workers' rights, and how her activism has influenced her creative work. Sarah also talks about the psychology of being on set, where the need to be uninhibited can leave one vulnerable. She explains how glad she is to have the structures and support systems in place that have derived from #MeToo, as well as her experience of sisterhood among cast and crew members that has developed in recent years. Top critics Leslie Felperin and Beth Webb join Anna for an overview of the London Film Festival, followed by reviews of two very different new female-directed releases: I Am Belmaya and Never Gonna Snow Again. They discuss a breadth of topics from the joy of seeing a film about female empowerment through filmmaking, to the subtleties of satire and varied portrayals of motherhood. Other film and TV mentions include: The Harder They Fall(in cinemas on the 22nd of October and on Netflix from the 3rd of November), C'mon C'mon, The Lost Daughter, Bridget Jones's Baby and How to Build A Girl.
