The Palme d’Or-winning follow-up to Man of Marble (1976), Man of Iron sees Winkel, a Communist-friendly radio journalist, charged with finding compromising information about a Solidarity opposition leader. But in witnessing protesting workers’ fight against political propaganda and commitment to overturn a repressive regime, Winkel questions his own beliefs.

Directly addressing the contemporary political situation as Poland entered the 1980s, Man of Iron combines fact and fiction to stunning effect, resulting in one of Wajda’s most profound artistic achievements.
