Arinzé Kene on Bob Marley, pepper popcorn and journaling about Joker

For this edition of This Is My Cinema, we sit down with the incredible Arinzé Kene to explore his work on the stage and screen, ahead of his performance as Bob Marley, in the new production of Get Up, Stand Up. Through the conversation we cover the impact that an early screening of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing had on Arinzé, we also explore his performance as Sam Cooke in the original stage version of One Night in Miami and why he carries a journal wherever he goes.Welcoming come to This Is My Cinema, a podcast from the British Independent Film Awards.
