Few world leaders turn down the remarkable, award-winning filmmaker Norma Percy. With Jonathan Freedland, the journalist and broadcaster; Lawrence Freedman, Professor of War Studies at King's College London; Mischa Glenny, the prominent historian and BBC correspondent for Central Europe; and Brian Lapping, well-known documentary producer, Norma will debate the relationship between television and history. Does the use of key players as witnesses make television the most accurate record of history?

The panel, chaired by Channel Four News’ Jon Snow will analyse some of the most memorable moments in the renowned series Death of Yugoslavia and Israel and the Arabs: Elusive Peace.
