Poland, 1981. A Catholic priest, Father Alek, rallies behind the cause of the Solidarity movement, making himself popular with his congregation but hated by both the Church leaders and the Soviet-controlled Polish government. He is most hated by the police official, Stefan, who is constantly frustrated at being unable to act against such flagrant dissidence. Father Aleks enemies decide to make good use of Stefans anger, and give him free reign to eliminate the troublesome priest
Theme Song-The Crimes of Cain - Joan Baez. This is the theme from the 1988 film To Kill a Priest also released in French as Le Complot.
Matthew, I'll admit I had to look it up on the internet but it was a worthwhile education. Thanks.

And of course how appropriate that Stefan in that movie was played by that pinko in real life Ed Harris.
