"Kanal"
1957
Directed by Andrzej Wajda

Part of the famous Andrzej Wajda trilogy that includes "A Generation" and "Ashes and Diamonds". The grim portrait of a group of Polish citizens and patriots who attempt to flee the Nazis through the sewer system of a war torn Warsaw. Graphic images of the makeshift army and civilians wading through refuse-filled waters describe their futile struggle for liberty. Based on actual events during the Warsaw uprising in 1944. Polish with English subtitles.
96 minutes.
