Dr. Sam Summers (from the Disniversity Podcast) talks to actors and directors Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dave Franco + Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado about their new film Forgotten Island. 

Your best friendship is worth fighting for. DreamWorks Animation welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island. 

Two high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.  While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.  

Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island.  

When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

Freda Cooper talks to screenwriter Luke Davies about his new film Tenzing, in cinemas now. 

In 1953, Tenzing Norgay was at the heart of the successful British Everest expedition as leader of the Sherpas whose hard work brought victory and as one of the two lead climbers to reach the top.  

But behind Tenzing's radiant smile is an untold story of courage, tragedy, and ambition, of a man who overcame incredible odds just to reach the bottom of the mountain.  

Born in a sacred Tibetan valley in the shadow of Everest, Tenzing's long journey led him from life as an illiterate yak herder to become the friend of Nehru, feted by monarchs and presidents all over the world.
