De Niro tells BBC artists shouldn't be "bullied" as New York's Tribeca Festival gets Underway

New York's Tribeca Festival is underway - and this year, audiences can expect many more musical performances as well as films in the line up, including from pop star Miley Cyrus for her film "Something Beautiful."

Despite the arts being a politically charged topic in the USA, actor Robert De Niro, who co-founded the festival, says he expects no "interference" in the festival from the Trump administration, and told BBC Talking Movies that artists should not be "bullied."
