Film producer 'stopped' for not wearing heels at Cannes
Danish film producer Valeria Richter says she was stopped four times on the way to one film at the Cannes Film Festival because she was not wearing high heels.
There has been criticism of the Cannes organisers for apparently banning women who were wearing flat shoes, not high heels, from some of the festival's gala events.
Ms Richter, who has had part of her left foot amputed, is not able to wear high heels, and told Phil Williams that she was stopped because of what she called "random fashion policing".
