01/22/2014 If you like films centered around strong female leads who push for social justice and can't be quelled this is for you. It also does a fantastic job of showing an example of an ordinary person changing the world.Agnieszka Kowalska is proof that Fred Ross's observation that "an organizer is a social arsonist who goes around setting other people on fire," is true See more 06/25/2010 If you are interested in the history of Polish shipyard workers who gave rise to the 1980s Solidarity movement, you want to watch this -- starting in 1961, the movie follows a female welder and the way she becomes disillusioned with the Socialist leadership, up to the 1980s strikes. In Polish, with subtitles, at times slow going. See more 04/25/2010 Polish woman lauded as a worker's hero increasingly conflicts with the management where she works at the shipyards in Gdansk. Bio-pic outlines events for the decade leading up to the founding of Solidarity. See more 08/17/2009 Jul 09 - I certainly expect more than a flat, shallow political drama from Schlondorff. It is an incredible story but making things into black and white only antagonizes me as a viewer. See more 04/24/2009 Good and interesting dramatic portrayal of the woman who's actions as a laborer at the shipyards in Poland helped launch the Solidarity movement, changing the face of the country and ultimately Eastern Europe. Decent acting and nice personal touches to fill in more of who the heroine really was. Worthwhile to watch if you are a fighter for social justice, a card carrying member of a union, inspired by women, or interested in the personal side of political movements. See more 09/15/2008 Inspirational true account (but dramatized) about the heroine that started the shipyard strike that led the way to revolution. See more Read all reviews
