Alan Yentob and Annie Leibovitz's sister Barbara present an intimate portrait of the American photographer who, now in her fifties, is still universally in demand from pop stars to political leaders, rabble-rousers to royalty.

Those who have not heard her name will certainly have seen her pictures - from a naked and pregnant Demi Moore to Bruce Springsteen's famous Born in the USA album cover, or a naked John Lennon next to a fully clothed Yoko Ono.

And in her personal life too, Leibovitz has veered from the customary path by having a lengthy relationship with the late Susan Sontag and giving birth at the age of 51.

Arts and culture programme. Alan Yentob explores the mysterious, offbeat, sexually-charged world of Japan's most popular and internationally acclaimed writer, Haruki Murakami. Murakami is incomparable; a literary novelist, he writes cool, witty, and often surreal bestsellers. The notoriously enigmatic and media shy author always shuns radio and television, but agreed to a rare and frank off-camera interview for this programme.

In this impressionistic film Alan Yentob travels in Japan through the strange, labyrinthine landscape of Murakami's fiction on a jazz-fuelled 'wild sheep chase' of a journey. In Tokyo and Kobe he delves into the social and political background of Murakami's work and encounters his fans, critics, translators ... and a talking cat.
