What Strike Is About
Volker Schlöndorff's film is set at the Gdansk shipyard in 1980. At its centre is a woman known for her dedication to her work who is one day put out of a job; her workmates strike to have her reinstated, and the strike spreads first through the whole yard and then through the country. That is how the birth of the Solidarity union is told. The character is based on a real person, Anna Walentynowicz, though the film renames her Agnieszka Kowalska. That choice and the film's free handling of events drew criticism in Poland, with people who knew the events at first hand objecting, and Walentynowicz herself keeping her distance from it. Katharina Thalbach leads.
