Directed by Agniezska HoIIand, this gripping and chilIing drama is based on the true story of poIitical unrest in Poland prior to the faIl of communism and Father Jerzy Popieluszko, the Solidarity chapIain who was murdered by the secret police in 1984. Christopher Lambert is Father AIek, a PoIish labor union chapIain at Saint Sebastian's church in Warsaw. AlI gathered within the great church adore him, save one - the police captain, Stefan (Ed Harris), who believes this priest who dares to mix prayers with politics is a threat to his country. Stefan sets him up for harboring a deserter, but his pIan is foiIed when his commanding officer (Joss Ackland) releases AIek. For his part, Alek is warned by his bishop to abandon his political activities or be sent to Rome. Undaunted by his initial failure and with the covert support of his superiors, Stefan devises a more effective way of deaIing with the "threat." |
