WALESA: MAN OF HOPE

[WAŁĘSA. CZŁOWIEK Z NADZIEI]
Andrzej Wajda brings the story of Lech Wałęsa and the Solidarity movement to the big screen. Robert Wieckiewicz (IN DARKNESS) is magnetic as Wałęsa, while Agnieszka Grochowska shines as his loyal wife, Danuta. The sharp screenplay by Janusz Glowacki hinges on Wałęsa’s landmark 1981 interview, just months before Poland declared martial law, with Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci (Maria Rosaria Omaggio), recounting in flashback the previous decade and a half of activism; Wałęsa would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983.
