This is the story of the movies that tried to change the world in the 70s. We start in Germany with Wim Wenders, then go to Britain in the 70s and talk exclusively to Ken Loach, then travel to Italy, and see the birth of new Australian cinema, and then arrive in Japan, which was making the most moving films in the world. Even bigger, bolder questions about film were being asked in Africa and South America, and the story ends with John Lennon’s favourite film, the extraordinary, psychedelic The Holy Mountain.
