On Tuesday 26 November 2019 we welcomed actor, rapper and activist Riz Ahmed to BAFTA Piccadilly for an inspiring evening of conversation, hosted by BBC Radio 1 Film Critic Rhianna Dhillon.

Riz told the Academy Circle about his journey so far from British independent films including The Road to Guantanamo (2006) and Four Lions (2010) to breaking Hollywood with Dan Gilroy's neo-noir thriller Nightcrawler (2014) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Riz shared his insights into the film and TV industry as well as his hopes and ambitions for its future.

Academy Circle Patrons were also joined by BAFTA Breakthrough Brits actor Abubakar Salim, producer Coco Jackson and production designer Luke Hull.
