Strike - the Hero of Gdańsk / Strajk – Die Heldin von Danzig

The film portrays the labor movement in Poland over a roughly twenty-year period, from the unrest of the 1960s to the open uprising of the 1980s, led by Lech Wałęsa. The character of Agnieszka Kowalska is based on a real historical figure, Anna Walentynowicz, who, alongside Wałęsa, was one of the founders of the free trade union movement.
