This last episode in the series The Story of India tells how a foreign multinational (the East India Company) thousands of miles away gradually and almost by chance took power over great swathes of the Indian subcontinent; how after the horrendous shock of the 1857 'Mutiny' the British state took over and turned this supremacy into the Raj, the jewel in the crown of the greatest empire the world had ever seen; and how the Freedom Movement delivered Independence to India in 1947, albeit a divided India. The series ends by acknowledging the extraordinary achievements of Indian democracy over sixty years and flags India's predicted rise to be the largest country and the second largest (or even the largest) economy in the world in the next three decades.

Geoffrey Herbert Malins is the first war ‘kinematographer' in history. The documentary he shot during the Battle of the Somme drew over 20 million British viewers in 1916. For years controversy has raged around the film due to its disconcerting violence and overt propagandist agenda. Now, new research has proven that most of the scenes are indeed a real minute-by minute record of the most disastrous battle in British military history. The film is a reflection on the history of cinema and the ability to document historical events on film.
