Max Pearson presents a collection of the week’s Witness History episodes taking us from India to Texas.
Professor Sunny Singh, author of A Bollywood State of Mind, discusses the origins of Indian cinema in 1912. And we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Bollywood romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
We also head to Paris in 1971, to the launch of what would become one of the world’s best known humanitarian organisations: Médecins Sans Frontières.
And we learn how Lord Robert Baden-Powell laid the foundations for one of the largest international youth organisations.
Finally, we discover how Bette Graham, a single mum from Texas cooked up the first correction fluid in her kitchen.
