      Jonathan Romney Screen International A provocative film that should win exposure on discerning platforms spanning the range of documentary, animation and human rights interests. Apr 22, 2021 Full Review Kathy Fennessy Video Librarian Magazine Though Wolski could have extended the 70-minute run time through interviews with strikers, journalists, and historians, it might have diluted the power of his approach, which makes a historical event feel immediate and relevant. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia A fascinating portrait of the decision-making process of Communist authorities and industrial relations in the Eastern Bloc.
