Summary/Abstract: A film directed and written by Andrzej Wajda. Based on the novel Post Mortem by Andrzej Mularczyk. In Polish, Russian, and German, with English subtitles. With archival black and white film footage. "The movie Katyń is less the story of the murders of the Polish officers than the story of how the lie of Katyń poisoned the lives and hopes of Polish citizens for decades. A lie this big produces many descendants."
