Julianne Moore's 'Freckleface Strawberry' book pulled from US school shelves
Actress and author Julianne Moore says it was a “great shock” to hear that her children’s book “Freckleface Strawberry” was among those removed from some American public schools, after an executive order from President Donald Trump saw a long list of titles confiscated for review. Olivia Salazar-Winspear explains what the current US administration sees as cause for concern in children’s literature. We also take a look at a new exhibition recreating the “Degenerate Art” scene of the 1930s, when the Nazi party sought to demonise avant-garde painters like Marc Chagall, Paul Klee, Otto Dix and Pablo Picasso, as the Picasso museum in Paris presents these major works of modern art in a contemporary context. Plus we hear from debut filmmaker and actress Ariane Labed, as she explores the complex dynamic between two sisters who are a little too close for comfort in her gothic-tinged feature “September Says”.
