From lowly shipyard worker to Nobel Peace Prize winner, the rise of the legendary Lech Wałęsa is brilliantly captured in this remarkable biopic by Academy Award-nominated director, Andrzej Wajda. With communist authorities bloodily suppressing workers’ uprisings across Poland, political activist Lech is arrested and beaten, eventually forced to collaborate with Security Services. Undeterred, he continues to lead his fellow workers against Soviet oppression. As his reputation grows and his actions begin to forge a path to freedom for citizens across Eastern Europe, the stakes are raised and Lech must decide what price he is willing to pay for freedom.
