Poland (2007): Drama/History

Katyn describes the tragedy of a generation. The film follows the story of four Polish families whose lives are torn apart when, at the outset of WWII, a great number of Polish soldiers (who are also fathers, husbands and brothers) fall into the hands of Soviet troops and later brutally become victims of Stalinism. The film also underlines the complicated circumstances of Poland's position both in the war and after.

Written for the screen by Andrzej Wajda and Andrzej Mularczyk; directed by Andrzej Wajda; produced by Michal Kwiecinski. (Web site)
