The British-Nigerian visual artist Yinka Shonibare gives a rare interview about his life and career, prompted by archive footage, photographs and home movies. Topics include the moment his sculpture, Nelson's Ship in a Bottle, was unveiled on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2010, and his emotional homecoming trip to Nigeria - the first time he had been able to go back to see friends and family for 30 years. He also talks about the impact of the spinal virus he contracted as a teenager, which left him paralysed down one side of his body.
