Communism In Poland Never Fell — In Oscar Nominee Agnieszka Holland’s New Netflix Series

In the alternate reality Poland of Holland’s 1983, “a wave of bombings in the year of the title has consolidated the grip of the communist regime even as the iron curtain fell around it – so the country enters the 21st century in authoritarian isolation.” Says Holland, “Maybe these people are happy? Maybe freedom is overrated? These questions are important for all of us. Maybe people who are feeling lost want someone to come along and tell them what to do.” — The Guardian
