Man of Iron

Directed by Andrzej Wajda

With Jerzy Radziwiłowicz, Krystyna Janda, Marian Opania, Irena Byrska and Wiesława Kosmalska

In Warsaw in 1980, the Communist Party sends disgruntled radio reporter Winkel to Gdańsk to dig up dirt on the shipyard strikers - particularly on Maciek Tomczyk, an independent labour union leader whose father was killed in the December 1970 protests. Posing as sympathetic, Winkel interviews the people surrounding Tomczyk, including his detained wife, Agnieszka.
