Katyn
The untold story of the crime Stalin could not hide
Directed by Andrzej Wajda
Produced by Akson Studio, Telekomunikacja Polska
A grave historical drama documenting a Soviet war crime and the suppression of truth, built on moral weight and collective tragedy rather than individual heroism.
On September 1st, 1939, Nazi Germany invades Poland, unleashing World War II. On September 17th, the Soviet Red Army crosses the border. The Polish army, unable to fight on two fronts, is defeated. Thousands of Polish men, both military and government officials, are captured by the invaders. Their fate will only be known several years later.
