Sean is joined by a fellow Northerner-lovely.  Catherine Warr is a historian from Leeds, who brings to light often untold or hidden history in Yorkshire and beyond. Catherine joins Sean to review one of Catherine's 'all-time favourite films', East is East (1999). There's a lot to unpack in this film. My Guest: More information can be found on Catherine's Website: https://www.catherinewarrshistorytours.com/ Discussion Points: -Catherine sets out the historical context of the film. -The relatability of the film. -The misconception around the fabric of British society over the centuries. -The decision of whether to follow your family's traditions or your friends. -The children having to keep their two worlds completely apart, due to their father's controlling behaviour.  -The balanced-nature of the film.  -How great films like this can transcend cultures and divides. Raised Questions:-Is Enoch Powell too heavily focused upon? -Did you know about the Bristol Bus Boycott? Film Recommendations: -Kes (1969). -Bend It Like Beckham (2002). -Blinded by the Light (2019). Thanks for listening! Twitter: @YourselfReviewInstagram: reviewityourselfpodcast2021 Hosted on Acast.
