Each session begins with the screening of a specially made or re-configured video that provides some historical context to the topic of discussion. This is followed by a discussion on any aspect of points raised in the video, led by Kwaku with input from special guest(s). A poll is conducted towards the end, to gauge attendee views on particular aspects of the discussion.
