Back by popular demand is the session which asks the question: if you were marooned on a desert island, which documentaries would you want at your side? Compare your picks with a panel of filmmakers and program executives from the global history TV community. Using clips of their favourite work, the panel will discuss why these are the films they most love and what influence they may have had on their own work and commissioning.
