Join Edith Bowman for a special Fourth of July edition as she celebrates the 250th anniversary of the USA, delving into the film archives to explore soundtracks which have captured the spirit of Independence Day across the decades. Expect music from legendary composers including John Williams, David Arnold, and Hans Zimmer that reflect a sense of American identity. Edith talks to director, screenwriter and composer Mike Figgis about his score for Leaving Las Vegas - a film that examines the unravelling of the American dream, and composer Jon Opstad dissects the music in Eyes Wide Shut, Stanley Kubrick's final movie which explores American class, privilege, and the myth of personal freedom.
