DON’T BURN THE COMMITTEES
Movie description
This exceptionally complete portrayal of Jacek Kuroń is made ‘to comfort hearts’. The filmmakers look at our contemporary reality through the prism of the protagonist and his charisma, which so many people remember intensely.
“We want the viewer to find himself in the times in which Jacek Kuroń lived. He felt them and saw them,” say the directors. And they add: “We will bring out the deeper, human sense of his life choices and attitudes – the fight against hatred and the desire for revenge, the need for understanding, for building around common ideas.”
The film will feature interviews with people who worked and were friends with Kuroni, including: Adam Michnik, Seweryn Blumsztajn, Helena Łuczywo, Anna Bikont, Ludwika Wujec, Andrzej Seweryn, Jan Rulewski or Adam Wajrak. They will be juxtaposed with archival materials, including the story of Jacek Kuroń himself and previously unpublished recordings by Marcel Łoziński and Jacek Petrycki.
