Susanna Abse Making Films for Channel 4 News

In July 2019, Susanna began a new venture making short films for Channel 4 News exploring our current political, personal and social struggles in a climate of uncertainty and great division. The series is called Britain on the Couch and so far Susanna has interviewed people and politicians across the country on her purple couch from Grimsby to London. One of the first films, focussed on the feelings of two men working in the fishing industry and more recently Susanna interviewed Tom Watson, the deputy leader of the Labour Party about his life, Brexit and his feelings around the botched Operation Midland investigation into historic childhood sexual abuse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb2AP6_CEho
