Tomasz Wolski continues an excellent series of documentaries based on found footage. This time he reveals the real dynamics of the events on the Polish Coast in December 1970. Combining archival footage with recently discovered transcripts of conversations between decision-makers (brought to life on the screen thanks to animation), he creates an overall image of the protests. He pays tribute to the protesters but mostly sheds new light on actions of the authorities: he depicts those who gave orders and those who followed them obediently, recalls specific names and exposes mechanisms of repression and propaganda.
