Ollie and Eve talk to Rodrick Reed (@BringRodneyHome), the brother of American death row inmate Rodney Reed & Billie Melissa (@billiemelissa_), a campaigner and filmmaker. This hard-hitting discussion goes over the details of Rodney's case and why he has attracted global support from stars including Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. In addition, the panel talk about racism in the US justice system, how presidents Trump and Biden will take different approaches to capital punishment and what the Reed family's hopes are for the future.
