Finally someone's going to make a movie about it.

Wajda is a living legend. Schindler's List was directly influenced by his 1950s 'War Trilogy' then by any other films.

Finally, an 'entertainment vehicle' about Katyn. Let's hope this 'product' has 'star talent' in it and generates 'record box office receipts'. Well, I suppose it's better that Wajda and not Spielberg makes it.

...the 1939 partition of Poland by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin at the start of World War Two.

They don't teach that little tidbit of history to our kids in public schools.
After all, Uncle Joe was our ally, right?

Thank God, I have been hoping Wajda could make such a film.

I recently saw a TV Polonia documentary on Wajda, that thankfully was subtitled in English, what an amazing man.

Thank God it's not being made in Hollywood. They'd make the murderers either Neo-Nazis, or an evil corporation, since they KNOW socialists would never do such a thing!

This is great. Finally an atrocity committed by Communists will finally be more than just a name. It will be made real in this film, a film I hope will be as widely known as Schindler's List.
