World Cinema: A Generation

BBC Two

The first film in Andrzej Wajda's epic trilogy of Polish youth in the Second World War
Starring Tadeusz Lomnicki, Urszula Modrzynska
With these three films - Kanal can be seen next week in World Cinema, to be followed by Ashes and Diamonds - Wajda established himself as one of the major film-makers of the current European cinema.

A Generation follows the development of an irresponsible youth into a mature and dedicated young freedom fighter in a Polish resistance group.
