Walesa: Man of Hope

Wajda examines resistance 60 years after the resistance movements of World War Two, but in a historical irony, it is now the trade union struggle against communism. Centred on Lech Walesa’s interview with Italian journalist Oriana Falacci, this is an illuminating exploration of the emergence of Solidarnosc, a new force that was poised to shake Polish politics to the core and undermine the regimes of Eastern Europe.
