Hello everyone and welcome to the Ammanpur Hour.

Here's where we're headed this week.

A special show for the festive season on art with a message.

First, the King of the Blockbuster and Avatar mastermind James Cameron takes me inside his

new film and the horror of nuclear war.

Then my on-stage conversation about Kyoto, a hit play on both sides of the pond, finding

humor and hope in climate negotiations.

Also ahead.

A punk take on feminism with one of a kind, the artist Linda,

and the Spanish master Pedro Almodovar, on delivering beauty and vibrancy in even our toughest

moments. Plus how we use art to understand each other, as Hong Kong staged an opera about Trump

this year from my archive my night at the

New York Opera about Nixon in China and finally unveiling a mural with special

meaning at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York it's a tribute to migrants.

Welcome to the program, everyone.

I'm Christiana Wanpur in London with a special program

on some of this year's greatest artists and their messages.

First, one of the most commercially successful directors of all time.

Right now, all across the world,

people are flocking to cinemas to see Avatar, Fire and Ash.

It's the third in James Cameron's series.

It's a not-so-s subtle critique of colonialism and the perils of destroying the natural world.
