The circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of General Sikorski in 1943 are offered in this intense film, which theorizes a possible conspiracy that culminated with the General's assassination. Director Anna Jadowska has adapted her TV series into this film which takes a documentary style look at the last days of the General's life. Unflinchingly realistic in form, the piece takes a guess at the political intrigue that may have led to the General's death, and imagines what his effect would have been to Poland's role in negotiations had he survived. Using split screens, close camera work, and cinema verite, this feature underlines the real world implications of the General's elimination during World War II. Emotionally charged as it portrays his relationship with his daughter (who possibly died with him), the film is sure to inspire discussion on political pragmatism and how far we are willing to let it go.
