However, in Journey to the West, Xuanzang is portrayed as a soft monk who is always worried, homesick, assertive, afraid and so on. People praised the Monkey King, who was making trouble in Heaven and at the same time derogated and ridiculed the fat white monk Tang Monk. However, little is known about the real Master Xuanzang. The documentary "The Road of Xuanzang" tries its best to restore a real Master Xuanzang to the world. In order to seek the righteous Mahayana Dharma, Xuanzang secretly crossed Yumen Pass in spite of the ban of the imperial court and crossed the snowy mountains and deserts.

- In the general election of the constituent assembly of Pakistan in December 1970, Awami League, led by Bengalee leader Bangbondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won absolute majority. But instead of handing over power to the elected Bengalee representatives, the Pakistan army on 25th March 1971, launched a brutal military crackdown on the Bengalees code named as "Operation Searchlight". Since then up to the liberation of Bangladesh in December, for long nine months, the marauding Pakistan army perpetrated a nationwide genocide in East Pakistan. It is assumed that around three million people were killed, more than two hundred thousand women were raped and about ten million refugees had to flee to India. The Bengalee military and para-military personnels, the youth and the students formed Muktibahini, who resiliently fought against the Pakistan army and their local collaborators. In December, a full-fledged war broke out between Bangladesh and India against Pakistan. Bangladesh was finally liberated on 16th December as an independent state. Depicting the main events of the year 1971, director Tanvir Mokammel has made a research-based three hour-thirty five minutes (215 minutes) long mega-documentary titled as "1971". For the people of Bangladesh the year 1971, for its association with the war of independence, has remained a glorious year. But at the same time, as so many carnages happened around, it was also a sad time. For the people of Bangladesh the year 1971 remains, to borrow Charles Dickens's expression- "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times!"

- On April 1 1980, five individuals seeking political asylum crashed a bus through the gates of the Peruvian embassy in Havana, Cuba. In the following days, 10,000 people stormed that embassy's grounds, signifying wide-spread disdain for Cuba's dictatorship. Fearing that continued civil unrest might cause further violence, Fidel Castro proclaimed that any Cuban wishing to immigrate to the United States could board a boat at the nearby port of Mariel. In what some considered a bold move, Castro forced prisoners and street indigents to board these same boats. While only a small percentage of the 125,000 Mariel refugees were actually criminals, Castro succeeded in tarnishing the image of those fleeing the country. However, for the vast majority of those who left Cuba, this was the beginning of a costly journey to freedom. The exile would begin not only with a parting of personal possessions, but a separation from family that for many would last a lifetime. But for the Marielitos the cost of their mass exodus was outweighed by something previously unimaginable: a chance to pursue their dreams. Dr. Jose Garcia left through Mariel as a 13 year-old boy. His journey takes us through personal accounts of lives affected by the Mariel exodus, of those who departed and also those who stayed behind. Culminating with his long anticipated trip back to his birthplace, we see the emotional reuniting of family and friends as we explore and listen to the unheard 'Voices From Mariel'.
