Description: Upon his election as leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn spoke of some of the people who have inspired him on his extraordinary journey. He said: ‘The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love..’ The author of that quote was Nigerian poet and novelist, Ben Okri. Speaking together for the first time in this recording, Corbyn and Okri discuss the forces that have made them what they are, the state of the world today, their literary influences and their belief that we can transform ourselves for the better.
