Episodes 11-13 of the acclaimed BBC TV series. No chronicle of the 20th century has ever come so close to the true spirit of the age. People's Century is a unique combination of rare archival footage and personal testimony. Through fascinating eyewitness accounts this acclaimed series examines how political, economic and technological changes transformed the lives of ordinary people.
Episode 11: Brave New World: Witnesses recall how post-war euphoria gave way to the mutual distrust of the new world superpowers. On either side of the Iron Curtain, the US and USSR thrived on propaganda and witch-hunts.
Episode 12: 1948 Boomtime: Affluent post-war America brought aid, skills and technology to the still war-torn Western Europe and Japan. Soon they too were to enjoy the fruits of the boom as the consumer society rode in on a wave of mass prosperity.
Episode 13: 1947 Freedom Now: When Ghandi showed the world how the masses could successfully defy their colonial masters, thousands across Africa and Asia joined the fight for control of their own destinies.
