Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Radom and Ursus factory strikes in June 1976 were pivotal, leading to KOR's formation and eventually Solidarity. Kieślowski filmed this just before the communist system collapsed.
Kieślowski considered this a 'reportage' rather than pure fiction—he interviewed actual participants and used real locations, including the Secretary's actual former office.
