Poirot visits Cornwall to attend a dinner hosted by his friend, the retired actor Sir Charles Cartwright. When an amiable local Reverend chokes to death on his cocktail Poirot cannot see how murder can have been committed. With the exception of Sir Charles's doctor friend Sir Bartholomew Strange and the enigmatic Miss Egg Lytton Gore any one of the eclectic mix of guests might have taken the glass - the inquisitive playwright, vulnerable ex-jockey, celebrated dressmaker, faithful housekeeper or young suitor of Miss Lytton Gore's. There seems to be no motive for murder and as Poirot predicts, no trace of poison is found in the Reverend's glass. But weeks later Sir Bartholomew Strange chokes to death at a dinner party he is hosting with many of the same guests. Poirot and Charles travel from Monte Carlo to Strange's home in Yorkshire where Charles is determined to solve his friend's death and to impress Egg.

In his recent graphic memoir "ZODIAC: A Graphic Memoir", the renowned artist Ai Weiwei writes that artists should "ignite stories", "fight for freedom" and "help us hope." Over his long and defiant career, he has used his art in a wide variety of media to do just that. His past works such as "Sunflower Seeds" and "Remembering" confronted issues of censorship and human rights abuses in China; in a recent show in London, he asked questions of an AI Chatbot for his project "Ai vs AI", including "Is there hope for peace?" Earlier this year, he faced criticism for his expressions of support for Palestinian rights and had a show in London canceled. In this wide-ranging conversation with Laura Flanders, they discuss the role of the artist and ask why is "Power so afraid of art and poets?" As attacks on free speech, surveillance and displacement continue to impact so many of us, how do we keep the doors of our minds open to possibility? And how can art and artists help lead transformation? All that, plus a commentary from Laura. "I'm not this kind of very active activist. I'm just being forced to act . . . But I'm proud of doing that because that is the meaning of life, to give dignity to life itself . . ." - Ai Weiwei 888"The real fear for me is [if] we lost [the] ability to ask the question. We lost our memory, we lost our sense of caring compassion . . ." - Ai Weiwei "We [do] not encourage people to have free thinking and judgment and that is the ground to produce Nazis or hypocrites. And that can come to political disaster . . . We have this kind of censorship because people cannot freely express their feelings." - Ai Weiwei Guest: Ai Weiwei: Conceptual Artist, Filmmaker & Human Rights Activist; Author, ZODIAC, A Graphic Memoir
