Child brides, the people of Syria and New York’s homeless

In this focus on film we are at the Dubai International Film Festival where we hear from the winner of the top prize. Yemen's first female film director Khadija Al-Salami’s film 'I Am Nujoom, Age 10 and Divorced' is a powerful story about child brides.

The British actor, Paul Bettany who's best known for his supporting roles in The Da Vinci Code, Wimbledon and A Beautiful Mind was also at the festival showing his directorial debut ‘Shelter.’ He tells Eve Jackson that we should be doing more to help the homeless.
