Clare English asks if realistic depictions of warfare in video games add to the experience or whether they are dangerous. Plus how to start a revolution peacefully and live music!

What's the difference between images of an actual war and those of a war video game? Very little it seems, as graphics become so realistic it's difficult to tell a game apart from real war footage. We find out if this adds to the game or is in fact a danger zone.

How to Start a Revolution is a new documentary film revealing how one man's work has helped a generation of people achieve freedom in the face of oppression...and to achieve it peacefully. Scottish film maker & journalist Ruaridh Arrow joins Clare from Boston as he tours the U.S. with his new film.

They may have been the headbanging kings of metal, but that doesn't mean they can't enter the respectable domain of a centre of culture. We find out more about Scotland's secret love of AC/DC, at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery where you can visit an exhibition commemorating the Highway to Hell boys.

We'll be finding out about Tohoku - an exhibition building connections between Japanese and Scottish artists. Also at the launch of this special event, will be a performance borne out of a Culture Caf茅 encounter...

Plus live music on the show courtesy of The Dead Man's Waltz, who acquaint us with 'folk-noir'.
