Man of Iron

A masterful drama about the limitations of the press and the events leading to one of the most crucial events of the 20th century. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and nominated for an Academy Award, it captures the passion, tragedy, and anxiety of the tumultuous time around the formation of the Solidarity trade union and the rise of Lech Walesa.
