In The Studio: Gurinder Chadha

We follow the making of ‘Christmas Karma’, Gurinder Chadha’s new musical film inspired by Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’.

Scrooge, the miser, becomes Mr Sood, a hard-hearted businessman whose employees are miserable and who won’t give to charity, not even at Christmas. The ghosts of past, present and future (Eva Longoria, Billy Porter and Boy George) show him the error of his ways.

We hear how Gurinder works and approaches film making and her reasons for creating this one.

Produced and presented by Susan Marling
