The moment of shock is just unforgettable.
From CBC and the BBC World Service.
The Con Caitlin's Baby, available now.
Welcome to the documentary in the Studio from the BBC World Service in this edition.
In addition, there's another chance to hear our award winning program about legendary filmmaker Ken Loach, who directed classics like Kes, Kathy Come Home and I, Daniel Blake.
There's a poem by Brecht that I kind of quoted before.
I always thought the simplest of words must suffice When I say what things are like It'll break the hearts of all that you go down if you don't fight is surely clear to you Simplest of words like the simplest of shots but there's Got to Be a steel Underneath it.
Which was produced by.
Me, Stephen Hughes and presenter Sharuna Saga.
I'm speaking to you from the Cannes Film Festival where Ken Loach's new film, the Old Oak is getting its world premiere.
I'm stood by the red carpet waiting for the acclaimed British director, his cast and collaborators to walk past and enter the screening.
Ken is one of only nine directors to have won Cannes top prize, the Palme d'or twice.
Once in 2006 for the wind that Shakes the Barley, and then a decade later for I, Daniel Blake, which was the first of three films he made in succession in the northeast of England.
It's a spiritual home this pub has been over the years.
It represents something that I've been given.
Exclusive access to the veteran filmmaker as he directs the Old Oak, the final film in the trilogy, and by his own admission, the last feature film he's ever likely to make.
I think a film like this would be tricky to do again just because certain facilities fail a bit.
I've been following the production for 18 months and it all began on a crisp January day in 2022 when I met Ken in a defunct public house.
I'm stood outside a red brick pub on the main road going through Merton, which is a former colliery village in East Durham.
