Swietlik, Poland, 2011, 52 min, Digi Beta, Politics, Social Issues
In 1983, during the State of Martial Law, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Speaker of the Senate Bogdan Borusewicz and Maciej Płażyński, Marshal of the Sejm in the years 1997-2001 and current opposition MP, founded "Swietlik", a high access services company. They cleaned inaccessible windows and painted chimneys in order to support their families and finance their activities in the Polish underground, at a time when meat was still rationed. Post-1989, they entered official politics. They were on the same side for some time - but are now political opponents. Jacek Knopp’s film shows how the Polish Solidarity elite, who contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall and currently influences European policy, has evolved.
