Walesa: Man of Hope

At the Gdansk shipyards, an uprising in the early 1980s is bolstered by the appearance of Lech Walesa, an electrician now gaining a reputation as an inspirational speaker.

Ten years after the bloody aftermath of demonstrations at the Gdansk shipyards, a new uprising in the early 1980s is bolstered by the unexpected appearance of Lech Walesa, an electrician who had lost his job at the yards for his trade union activities, and is now gaining a reputation as an inspirational speaker prepared to defy the ruling communist party.

In Polish and Italian with English subtitles.
