Sarah Solemani, creator of BBC One's 'Ridley Road', speaks with HOPE not hate's Nick Ryan

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.
