Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on the 1941 Jedwabne pogrom, where Polish neighbors murdered 340 Jews. The film sparked national controversy and death threats against Maciej Stuhr.
Pasikowski deliberately mirrors Western tropes to trick viewers—this isn't 'Deliverance' with Eastern Europeans, it's historical reckoning disguised as thriller.
