Young Forest

In the beginning of the 20th century, Polish students are fully aware that the education system is not one in which the truth is taught, but rather one their government wants them to learn. A student contradicts his professor's stance that Suworow was one of Poland's greatest leaders. The argument between the two eventually leads to a wide strike.

Directed by Józef Lejtes, Young Forest leans on a strong ensemble — Kazimierz Junosza-Stepowski, Bogusław Samborski, Maria Bogda — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1934.
