Film details

This exceptionally comprehensive portrait of Jacek Kuroń is being made “to uplift the spirit.” The creators look at today’s reality through the prism of the charismatic leader whose presence and influence continue to be vividly remembered by many.

“We want the audience to feel transported to the times in which Jacek Kuroń lived — to experience them and see them,” say the directors. “Our aim is to uncover the deeper, human meaning behind his life choices and principles — his fight against hatred and the desire for revenge, and his relentless pursuit of dialogue and building unity around shared ideas.”

The documentary will feature interviews with people who worked closely with or were friends of Kuroń, including Adam Michnik, Seweryn Blumsztajn, Helena Łuczywo, Anna Bikont, Ludwika Wujec, Andrzej Seweryn, Jan Rulewski, and Adam Wajrak. These conversations will be interwoven with archival materials, including Kuroń’s own reflections and never-before-seen footage by Marcel Łoziński and Jacek Petrycki.
