Movies to Change the World (S01E10)

In the 1970s, cinema took bold strides toward change across the globe. Wim Wenders was making waves in Germany, while Ken Loach was capturing the essence of Britain. Italy saw the provocative works of Pasolini, and Australia was giving rise to an innovative film movement. Meanwhile, Japan was producing some of the most poignant films of the era. In Africa and South America, filmmakers were bravely tackling larger, more audacious questions. The narrative culminates with John Lennon’s beloved film, the remarkable and surreal The Holy Mountain.
