NEW EVENT: What lurks behind North Korea's veil of secrecy? On 21 June a Frontline panel will discuss what life is like under the Communist state and what its aggressive foreign policy means for the world.

We've got some challenging and thought-provoking film screenings coming up this week, including "Human Terrain" on Friday, which explores US military efforts to win the hearts and minds of local people in Afghanistan.

Our panels next week include an investigation into what happens now to the UK's digital economy on Tuesday, and on Wednesday we have the second in a series of events in association with Communications Inc examining the new coalition government's approach to climate change.
