  • Award-winning actress and writer Katy Brand will be quizzing Michaela Coel in the post-MacTaggart interview at the Festival. The pair appeared together driving across Africa for Comic Relief’s The Red Nose African Convoy and the post-MacTaggart terrain should be just as exhilarating.
    Join us to hear Katy dig into the detail behind Michaela’s MacTaggart lecture, drawing her on how she broke into the industry, finding her voice, inclusivity and equality.

    I came to the comments to just write how much I loved this conversation only to see so many being critical of the interviewer for dominating the conversation. While I certainly can see why that kind of interviewing style would bother someone, especially when the guest is as brilliant as Michaela Coel, I really never found myself being annoyed or finding any fault in how this was conducted. Had they no personal history between each other, absolutely, this kind of freelance approach would seem unprofessional, but I think it works in this one being that the interviewer is able to leverage their friendship to ask questions that another interviewer might not thing to ask. I feel like we get to see a window into the philosophical/spiritual side of Michaela Coel here, which I absolutely love!

  • @ClintonJohnsonOnline

    That was an interesting and safe interview. I guess Katy Brand didn't feel very comfortable asking questions to dig into some of the content from Michaela's speech that focused more on experiencing racism or challenges around inclusivity and equality or sexual assault.

    • @arlenerae6902
      @arlenerae6902 6 лет назад +35

      Exactly my observation!!! I'm really disappointed in Katy Brand and what seemed a deliberate exercise in avoiding the more sticky points of Michaela's lecture!! I also felt powerfully aware of the nurture and protection of the culture of racism/discrimination.. the culture of exclusion. Why explore these issues of systemic racism and exclusion, when we can focus on where 'You thought or felt YOU were wrong about a Malaysian actress'. I am so fed up with white fragility.

    • @ClintonJohnsonOnline
      @ClintonJohnsonOnline 6 лет назад +25

      Given that Michaela's speech and this interview took place in the same week that Loan (Kelly) Tran wrote this: www.nytimes.com/2018/08/21/movies/kelly-marie-tran.html And similarly, many media outlets shifted her whole conversation to focus on "online harrassment". The consequence of that kind of discomfort with racism and exclusion is that journalists and others empowered to explore what is happening in the world and share that with the masses.... well, those journalists and interviewers basically fail us all by telling such a limited version of the truth. This kind of failure runs the risk of negating Michaela and Loan's efforts to be honest and share a reality with the masses that many of us live through daily. Not talking about it suggests that it is unimportant or invalid.
      As upsetting as it is for you and me, I can't imagine how Michaela felt after laying her life so bare and speaking her truth for like an hour. Then, having a friend and colleague suppress that truth for about the same amount of time.

      Yes. It felt like a contradiction, considering Michaela's lecture emphasised on being *transparent

      It was like this interview was designed to mute Michaela or restrain her so that she couldn't go into further detail on race and on sexual assault in the industry.

    Call her a coke head, nervous and can you just confirm all my preconceptions and can I talk over you as much as possible.
    It sounds very plausible that Katy Brand is doing a hit-job to silence her or the most generous option would be that Katy has zero listening skills in combination to being quite uncomfortable to talk about race or to be quiet for a moment.
    Michaela is on to her the moment she starts talking about being curious as there is no real curiosity from the interviewer. And Michaela also hints at "willing to be wrong".
    Falls on deaf ears.
    Kate would have been more effective if she just sat on her.
    Instead she calls her poem shit and keeps digging to actually insult Michaela, who is sharp and is able to laugh this exubarant laugh: 15:26.
    Stay true to yourself Queen Michaela - do not let the bastards grind you down.

    "As people climb higher and higher, their perspective narrows and there is no time for reflection ..." I would invite any TV exec out there to watch the Netflix medical documentary series Lennox Hill, where they can find some inspirational examples of how people with real life and death decisions deal with them. The image of top neurosurgeons and ER nurses both, collecting themselves in quiet contemplation before taking on a new challenge might give them pause ....

    Who is the interviewer?
    Michaela needed an interviewer to match her really. What you did really write the poems yes they are still there! What!? Well maybe you really wish they were burnt???? We are allowed to go on the process without shame.
    Well Kathy seems quite transparent to me! British institutions emotional protective of fear of a contribution to a hostile environment …..But Michaela you don't have it, feel it. Strange super power to have? - are you trying to relieve guilt...... . What are the implication of the answers? This is not my house, does it feel a bit like your house?
