The begining of the Polish Solidarity movement founded in September 1980 at the Gdansk shipyard and led by Lech Walesa.

Solidarity was the first non-communist party-controlled trade union in a Warsaw Pact country. In the 1980s it constituted a broad anti-bureaucratic social movement. The government attempted to destroy the union during the period of martial law in the early 1980s and several years of political repression, but in the end it was forced to start negotiating with the union.

  • film is pure propaganda , seen from only one side.

  • solidarity - liers, traitors, CIA puppets. They betray even polish workers...

    Only Walesa are miiliniare today, polish workers and oridinary polish people are starving hunger

  • @TheRacistsMustDie: That's because Solidarnosc was not a real union. Supported by union busters Reagan and Thatcher; and financed by the CIA, MI-6, Vatican, Wall Street and Frankfurt bankers. Thanks to Solidarnosc, Poland is now a catholic version of Iran: mandatory religious studies in school, outlaw of abortion, women confined to the household. They don't even teach sex education in Poland, and everyone wonders why they have one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in Europe.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • If they keep printing money the dollar will be completly worthless, the Bush Administration is to blaime along with Obama with has taken a bad situation and made it worse. 15 Trillion in debt we will never pay that off so the last two presidents of been pretty worthless. I am conservative and not a Republican because it seems these losers go to Washington and are payed off by both private and public secotor interest groups. Its insane no one talks about a ballanced budget anymore since Clinton

  • @TheGophers11 Yes, it is true that all ability for the people to resist in this country is being taken away. But don't try to blame it soley on the Democrats, the Republicans just preach to people who hate Obama but go and do the same thing he does. I am saying that we are going to be very similar to the USSR in a few years, only we will bow to Money instead of Marx. If I have no freedom in any aspect of my life I don't care if someone calls me a capitalist or communist.

    Damn Son. I you zinged Ronnie so hard I think the spit on his grave is starting to boil.

  • Haha, the only trade union that Reagan ever supported.

  • Exactly, they are also trying to scheme of ways to take away our 2nd amendments. Check of Fast and Ferrious. Are you also interested in Cold War History? This time was really facinating period of history
