1901 : Les Enfants En Grève
Feature film / Poland / Directors' Fortnight 1981
This strike happened in 1901 in Wrzesnia, in the part of Poland which was under the Prussian rule. There is a strong connection between the strikes which happened in Poland in 1901 among children and the strikes of polish workers in 1980-81. They have the same moral and religious background. If you want to understand the Poland of 1981, you must take a look at the events of 1901. The children's strike against learning the religion in school in german language shows us the liberal state of Prussia started slowly to change into a totalitarian omnipotent state.
