Solidarity and the Church
The extraordinary political developments in Poland owe much to Perestroika. But they also owe much to the influence of Pope John Paul II, the first Polish pope, and to the unusual historical position whereby Poles traditionally saw the Catholic Church as a symbol of their national independence. This programme includes interviews with Cardinal Glemp and Lech Walesa.

Solidarity Wins
Poland, an agricultural country, could not grow enough food to feed its own population. Polish industry was similarly antiquated and most consumer goods had to be imported. In 1989, faced with seemingly insoluble economic problems the Communist Party chose to sit down with its old enemy Solidarity and share power with it.
