DESCRIPTION

An unusual narrative about recent Polish history. The protests in 1970 from the point of view of the authorities, from the perspective of the oppressors. Tomasz Wolski relies on historical sources – a record of conversations from the crisis headquarters and command center at the same time. He combines them with animations, creating an unusual, formally interesting image of a smoke-filled office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He points out the mechanisms of repression, contempt and propaganda. Giving the floor to the decision-makers reminds us who and when made the deadly decision to shoot the protesting workers.
