Solidarity
Taking the Reins of Power This September, Poland is living through some of the most momentous days in its history. For the first time in Eastern Europe for 40 years, a non-Communist Prime Minister leads the Government.
The BBC's former Eastern Europe correspondent, Tim Sebastian , returns to Poland to report on the revolution that may change the face of Europe in our lifetime.
He revisits the cities that were the birthplace of Solidarity and uncovers the raw reality of everyday life where the battle is not for politics but for food.
How can Solidarity deliver both bread and freedom? And how much power have the Communists really surrendered as they still keep the Army and the Secret Police in their grasp?
Is the Party really over? Producer HELEN JENKINS Editor TIM GARDAM

Starring Meryl Streep, Roy Scheider, Joe Grifasi and Jessica Tandy
The dark streets of Manhattan hide many things. One stormy night the city gives up a grisly secret - the body of George Bynum, his throat slit from ear to ear! But the mystery deepens when Bynum's mistress confesses to Sam Rice, Bynum's psychiatrist, that she had once killed a man.
Entranced by her, Rice finds himself caught in a terrifying spiral of murder and deceit. A tense Hitchcock-style thriller that takes romance and murder to a surprising climax.
