Fight the Power: Protest in Film (S01E12)
S01E12
In the 1980s, filmmakers boldly challenged authority through their art. American indie director John Sayles shares insights from this transformative period. Meanwhile, in Beijing, Chinese cinema thrived just before the Tiananmen Square protests. In the Soviet Union, powerful narratives from the past resurfaced in remarkable films, and in Poland, the talented director Krzysztof Kieslowski began to make his mark.
