Synopsis
A docudrama based on labor strikes held in Poland during the early eighties: When, on December 13, 1981, General Wojciech Jaruzelski introduced martial law in communist Poland, one of the factories which decided to strike in protest was the "Wujek" coal mine in Silesia. The strike was broken three days later. Nine miners died. The trial of those members of the special militia units accused of murdering them is still in progress, to date. The tragic events of this story unfold as they are told by a hero--the community, or rather its conscience, subjected to extreme pressure.
