About Historia Roja, czyli w ziemi lepiej słychać
In the spring of 1945, the commanding officer of the National Armed Forces in Mazowsze and older brother of 20-year-old Mieczyslaw Dziemieszkiewicz, is assassinated by Soviet soldiers. Mieczyslaw then joins the National Military Union. He becomes the commander of a partisan unit fighting for the next six years to free Poland from Soviet tyranny by terrorizing the UB and its collaborators. Communist authorities will do whatever it takes to track down the "enemy of the people's power."
Directed by Jerzy Zalewski, Andrzej Lelito, Elżbieta Latałło-Górecka, Historia Roja, czyli w ziemi lepiej słychać leans on a strong ensemble — Krzysztof Zalewski, Wojciech Żołądkowicz, Piotr Domalewski — 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 2016.
