History / Katyn - the Polish movie [29]
There is a distributer in the USA. I met an individual from the firm at the Wajda film festival in New York, in october of 2008. I also met Wajda himself at this event!
The film will be released February of 2009. The sad thing is that it will likely be ghettoized to art film theaters. I know that the Film Forum theatre in New York City will be showing it then.
The only way of reaching a wider audience is for this to be shown on PBS stations. Good luck with that! When a documentary on what happened to the Poles on the Kresy was presented to PBS (possibly WNET 13 in New York), it was turned down because "that period of history has been sufficiently covered"
