At the end of the show, Stuart, Eamonn and Afua share their media recommendations. RECOMMENDATIONS: Eamonn: Nick Broomfield documentary, ‘My Father and Me’ (“Documentary filmmaker, Nick Broomfield, takes a distinctly personal look at his relationship with his humanist-pacifist father, Maurice Broomfield, a factory worker turned photographer of vivid images of postwar England.”) https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000thyl Stuart: Stuart is looking forward to visiting the Pantheon in Paris to pay his respects to Josephine Baker, the French-American civil rights activist, music hall superstar and second world war resistance hero, who has become the first Black woman to enter France’s Panthéon mausoleum of revered historical figures – taking the nation’s highest honour at a moment when tensions over national identity and immigration are dominating the run-up to next year’s presidential race.
