- Synopsis:
- From shipyard electrician to Nobel Peace Prize winner, the rise of Lech Walesa is brilliantly captured in this remarkable biopic by Academy Award-nominee, Andrzej Wajda. As communist authorities bloodily suppress union uprisings across Poland, Lech (Robert Wieckiewicz) is arrested and beaten, eventually forced to collaborate with the Security Services. Undeterred, he continues to lead his fellow workers against Soviet oppression. In doing so, he begins to forge a path to freedom for citizens across Eastern Europe, but the stakes are raised and Lech must decide what price he is willing to pay for freedom.
