Strong Recommend: The Ballad of Wallis Island

To start off this mini-series, Armando picks a film he's enjoyed recently. Tim Key and Tom Basden's hit film The Ballad of Wallis Island started life as a short film, and has won plaudits for its offbeat, funny and warm story. How do films get made, when is the British film industry at his best, and what makes a film like this so special?

Join Helen and Armando over the summer for more cultural recommendations, available weekly on BBC Sounds.
