Lessons from a Flying University

After the declaration of martial law and the attempt to destroy the independent labor union Solidarity in 1981, the Dardenne brothers visited five Polish immigrants from various generations – five Poles who ran from the Nazis, pogroms and Communists. The title refers to the Flying Universities, an illegal educational network from the end of the 19th century, which were revived in the 1970s, right before the formation of Solidarity.
