FM4 Interview with Director Barry Sonnenfeld on Schmigadoon!
Musicals. Are you a lovah or a hate-ah? Well, there's a new series on Apple+TV that will appeal to the lovers and the haters: Schmigadoon! The six-part series follows couple Josh and Melissa, played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, as they find themselves lost on a couples hiking retreat. They somehow find their way to very colourful town colourful in set design, costumes, and in casting. Schmigadoon! Is a tongue in cheek nod to the 1954 American Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical Brigadoon and a very nu-school version of old-school musicals which were mostly white and straight when it comes to representation. Riem Higazi was very happy to interview Schmigadoon! director Barry Sonnenfeld. He was once the cinematographer for the Coen brothers before he started directing major Hollywood blockbusters such as the Men in Black trilogy.

FM4 Interview with First Nation politician Sol Mamakwa on Canada Day
July 1st is Canada Day, a federal holiday meant to mark the nations birth but this year, many Canadians have chosen to cancel celebrations in favour of solemn reflection. For over 100 years, Canada had a policy of removing First Nation and Indigenous children as young as six years old from their families and placing them in residential schools run jointly by churches and the government. The idea at the time (and this time lasted up until 1996) was to assimilate indigenous children into white society. Not only did the policy fail, countless lives were stolen, countless children were murdered. The past few months, thanks to improved technology, unmarked graves with hundreds of childrens remains were uncovered across Canada, first in British Columbia, and last week in Saskatchewan. Riem Higazi spoke with First Nation politician Sol Mamakwa about a decidedly different Canada Day this year.
