Welcome to The Explanation from the BBC World Service.
I'm Ros Atkins and this is The Media Show.
We're here to explain the trends behind the fast-changing media landscape.
This week on The Media Show, we're looking at the rise of a bit of the movie business dubbed Alternative Hollywood.
We're joined by the studios making faith-based dramas and films celebrating traditional US values.
And we'll travel from California to Trinidad
and Tobago to hear how radio made by prisoners is helping people prepare for life outside of jail.
Let's start with Hollywood.
Regular listeners to the media show will know that we're always looking at media fragmentation
and the growth of content that's serving particular interest groups and ideologies outside of the so-called mainstream.
That applies to the movie business, because over the last few years, there's been a growth in producers
who are making films for audiences they feel are neglected by the big movie studios.
That includes Christians and those with patriotic and traditional values.
