Shame on Schlondorff for misrepresenting true historical facts


When I saw this movie at the Toronto Film Festival I was already aware of the fact that this movie was controversial since the main character of the movie, the late Anna Walentynowicz sought legal recourse for the deliberate misrepresentations the director permitted himself to depict despite stern opposition and condemnation.

I had the privilege of meeting Ms. Walentynowicz and she did mention her objections on how she and her son were portrayed, her son was never in the communist ZOMO!!! Mr. Schlondorff must have had some agenda to deliberately do such a thing.

Shame on you Mr. Schlondorff, I had the honor to meet Ms. Walentynowcz but I would not bother with meeting you ...
