  • "1970" by Tomasz Wolski reimagines the December 1970 protests in Poland using both archival footage and stop-motion puppetry.
  • The film combines black-and-white street scenes with audio from tapped phone calls of party officials, creating a surreal perspective on the protests.
  • It highlights the brutal suppression of demonstrations that resulted in 44 deaths and over a thousand injured by Polish authorities.
  • The protests catalyzed change, leading to price cuts and the resignation of Premier Władysław Gomułka, and ignited the Solidarity movement.
  • "1970" seeks to depict the unsettling contrast between the raw reality of protests and the detached world of the authorities, launching on True Story from January 3.
