Today on Q with Tom Power:

  • Sarah Polley's adaptation of Women Talking is a powerful film about three generations of women who sit down to decide the fate of the women and children of their enclosed Mennonite colony.
  • Vir Das became the first India-born comic with his own Netflix special in 2017. Since then, his international star has risen stratospherically – at the same time as being labeled a terrorist in his home country for his honest critiques of India's injustices. Vir talks about making this journey into comedy in his new stand-up show, Landing.
