Movie: FAR FROM POLAND DVD

FAR FROM POLAND portrays the birth of the Solidarity movement at the Gdansk shipyards through moving personal testimony and a chilling look at the psychology of a censor. When filmmaker Jill Godmilow (Waiting for the Moon) was denied visas to shoot in Poland, she decided to continue with the film in New York. Over bare bones documentary footage, she draped dramatic re-enactments of Solidarity texts, melodramatic re-creations, and formally composed scenes to construct a personal interpretation of Poland's struggle. In the process, she questions the very idea of 'documentary truth.'
