Synopsis

This epic, decade-spanning biopic depicts the extraordinary life of Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa, this explosive film traces in dramatic fashion the growth of the Polish Solidarity movement, which was central to the collapse of the Soviet Union and Poland’s transition to democracy.

MUBI's take

Andrzej Wajda’s masterful, penultimate film is an epic affair of enormous scope: a four-hour, four-decade tribute to the Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and former President of Poland Lech Wałęsa. Under the shadow of the Iron Curtain rose a call for collective solidarity that spearheaded a revolution.
