Poland is at the forefront of the European Union's eastward enlargement. An important part of its recent history on the road to democracy is vividly reflected in this semi-documentary radio play based on three conversations.
The first report, "Words for Three Days", is about Leszek Gozdzik, a labour activist at the largest Polish car factory at the time in Zerán. Gozdzik played an important role in Wladyslaw Gomulka's seizure of power in 1956.
The second "View from the Window" focuses on a man who, as the highest official representative of the Polish Communist Party in Radom in 1976, confronted the rebelling crowd of workers.
Anna Walentynowicz, the main character of the third part of "People are perhaps not bad", was one of the leading figures of Solidarnosc alongside Lech Walesa. She was the person whose dismissal in August 1980 led to the legendary strike in the shipyard.
