Children of Solidarnosc
Rafael Lewandowski
Poland ï 006 ï 74 mins

In 1980, workers from a Gdansk shipyard began a strike against the totalitarian Polish regime. A group of intellectuals joined this first wave, and the Solidarity movement was born. People began to fight for the chance for their children to grow up in a free country with better living conditions and a better future. 25 years later, this generation of children has grown up. Young people born in the same year as the movement that changed the history of their country give their opinions on the struggle and the ideals of their parents. Combining material from the period with present-day reflections on it, Children of Solidarnosc explores the ideals the Solidarity movement set for itself and whether these ideals have been fulfilled.
