THE INDEPENDENT
POLISH TITLE: NIEZALEŻNI
A story about the way of thinking and attitudes of young people who were students in the years 1974-1989, which led to such initiatives as the Student Solidarity Committee, the Independent Student Association, the Freedom and Peace Movement, Orange Alternative, the New Culture Movement, The Gallery of Manic Activities. Their creators laid the foundations for attitudes of today’s intelligentsia. Most of them operated illegally and independently, although, e.g. members of the Independent Student Association, had a short legal
‘carnival’, just like the Solidarity movement.
