Film show: Two empowered feminist films to watch for International Women’s Day

Critic Emma Jones speaks to Eve Jackson about the week’s film news, including two worthwhile watches for International Women’s Day: first, Marjane Satrapi’s biopic “Radioactive” about the life of Marie Curie, starring Rosamund Pike and Sam Riley; then, the inspiring documentary “Woman”, from Ukrainian director Anastasia Mikova and French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. They also chat about Pixar’s latest offering, “Onward” and finally “Monos”, a story about child soldiers from Colombia by Colombian-Ecuadorian director Alejandro Landes.
