Katyn Premiere

Polish director Andrej Wajda will premiere his new film Katyn Sept. 17 at the Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.

It's a personal story for Wajda because his father was killed in Katyn.

Katyn (Post-Mortem) examines the Katyn massacre of 1940, in which Soviet troops killed thousands of Polish POWs – members of intelligentsia drafted into the Polish army. It shows the massacre and it shows the lie that came after: The Soviets maintained that the massacre was committed by the Germans in 1941 when actually it was the Soviets in 1940.
