One Day in People's Poland

Official newsreels and a few home movies build up the picture of an ordinary day in Poland in the 1960s. Secret police reports, citizens' letters and radio recordings recreate its hidden dimension: control and oppression. As dawn breaks on the morning of September 27, 1962, the radio announcer calls on listeners to take part in the daily exercise routine and get ready for work? Using film, radio and police archives, director Maciej J. Drygas has reconstructed one ordinary day in Poland under Communism.
