Curators at the Imperial War Museums unpack some of the world’s most complex conflicts, from the Yugoslav Wars to the ongoing war in Syria.

Celebrity guests ask the simple questions about the most pressing conflicts of our time: What’s really going on in Yemen? How did the war in Afghanistan begin? What do we mean by 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland?

Guided by an IWM curator, our guest is taken on a journey through the Imperial War Museum in London, discovering the objects, people and stories which bring a conflict to life.

Guests in the first series included Carey Mulligan, Jamali Maddix and Munya Chawawa.

Producer: Matt Hill (series 1 & 3) Lauren Armstrong Carter (series 2)
