Film and TV highlights

Korea / Michael Palin in the DPRK: a western exceptionalism showcase

Workers in Britain could learn much from our Korean comrades, but they are unlikely to realise that from listening to Palin’s arrogant commentary.

We have the power to change the world, but are we allowing that power to be diverted?

A reminder that communists and communism are not our enemy but the hope of the world.
