Before each Darwin College lecture, the following presentation is shown. It takes a look at the last 25 years of the lecture series before introducing this year's series on Risk. It also showcases Risk-themed films from the archives of the British Film Institute and displays, for the first time, new work by children, students and adults from different institutions around Cambridge who have interpreted what Risk means to them using art, poetry and film.
