In India the world�s most famous movie star, Amitabh Bachchan, shows how Bollywood was doing new things in the seventies too.

EPISODE 12. Protest in the movies of the 1980s: brave filmmakers spoke truth to power. American independent director John Sayles talks exclusively about these years. In Beijing, Chinese cinema blossomed before the Tiananmen crackdown. In the Soviet Union, the past wells up in astonishing films, and master director Krzysztof Kieslowski emerges in Poland.
