Having been to the Solidarity centre twice and seeing this film mentioned there, I thought it was time to queue it up and see how it fared. The answer is ... fair to middling.
I love the story as told in the centre itself. This film is a story within a story. It has the events of 1980 as a backdrop to the story of one worker who is active in the cause ... so it's really only quite loosely tied to the events of the time.
I really liked the use of archive footage ... and it was cool seeing Lech playing a small part.
Some of it was a bit too in-depth for me politically speaking. I think if I hadn't been to the centre twice I would have been completely lost - but then I'd never have watched the movie, I suppose.
53/100.
