00:00:00And how did you come to Oświęcimia?
00:00:04I was in the work group.
00:00:07One worker and my friend ran away.
00:00:11What was his name?
00:00:14I can't remember.
00:00:16You can't remember his name?
00:00:19Is that what you call friendship?
00:00:22Or is it a different kind of friendship?
00:00:25It was during the occupation.
00:00:28I've never been a member of an anti-communist organization
00:00:31nor have I ever done anything against the state.
00:00:33But other seminaries have.
00:00:35And you could practice them.
00:00:37You could help us.
00:00:39You're no doubt aware, Father, that you could be charged.
00:00:42In fact, we have a right to do it.
00:00:46Do you also know there are no total innocents in this world?
00:00:52Being a priest means to be faithful
00:00:56to the Church,
00:00:58enjoying a freedom of religious practices assured by our state.
00:01:02The Church is its bishop,
00:01:05and our bishop is a bishop.
00:01:08A bishop is a single individual,
00:01:10weak, infallible, like everybody else.
00:01:14And you don't know our dogmas.
00:01:17The bishop, in unity with other bishops,
00:01:19creates the Church's thought,
00:01:22which is infallible.
00:01:25Modern people don't believe in dogmas.
00:01:29Think about it.
00:01:32Remember, your future is in our hands.
00:01:36According to my faith, my future is in God's hands.
00:02:26Welcome.
00:02:31It's incredible.
00:02:34When I was here last summer,
00:02:37and I was doing my research,
00:02:39they'd hardly started to dig the foundations.
00:02:56Wanda?
00:03:01Are you here?
00:03:03Yes, I work in the theatre now.
00:03:06Have you left the theatre?
00:03:08Haven't you heard about some changes?
00:03:11How's Marianne?
00:03:13She's in trouble.
00:03:15She's in prison.
00:03:17We must talk when this is over.
00:03:19Is it going to take long?
00:03:21It's hard to get back to the city after all these meetings.
00:03:24Don't be in such a hurry.
00:03:26Don't delude yourself.
00:03:28We have no choice.
00:03:30We were ordered to come here.
00:03:32Can we start?
00:03:40Comrades and friends,
00:03:42we have the privilege to welcome on this stage
00:03:45a very distinguished writer, Tadeusz Sobański.
00:03:58I understand you've been working all day,
00:04:01and I know how hard it is for some of you to get home afterwards.
00:04:06But all of us want to hear you.
00:04:09Actually, I've come here to look and listen,
00:04:14to learn.
00:04:17Well, are there any questions?
00:04:20Has anyone read my book?
00:04:25I think workers should talk to writers.
00:04:28It's a dialogue.
00:04:30I think a writer has a great duty and responsibility,
00:04:35because we know that a writer is an engineer of human souls.
00:04:39We often don't see the truths that are obvious,
00:04:44because he must show us the true meaning.
00:04:47That's his responsibility.
00:04:49And a writer must be aware of it.
00:04:55Yes, well, thanks.
00:04:58Responsibility.
00:05:01It's something I can't think about right now, probably.
00:05:05But I've written a book about the construction of Nowa Huta,
00:05:10and I've come here to find out if it's true.
00:05:14If not, please tell me.
00:05:17It's the only valid reason to communicate truth to each other.
00:05:23Is there a God?
00:05:31Why do you ask me about that?
00:05:34That's not really what I'm here to talk about.
00:05:37My book's about other things.
00:05:40Are there any other questions?
00:05:58You're supposed to be studying, not messing about.
00:06:01Look what this man says here.
00:06:03What lad?
00:06:04It's his book about Nowa Huta.
00:06:06Let him write what he wants.
00:06:08What do you care?
00:06:09Listen to this.
00:06:11There was a never-ending line of carts,
00:06:14all of them in twigs and flowers, moving along the road.
00:06:17We could hear the joyful rattling of horse whips.
00:06:21The whistle slithering to the deep murmur of the bass.
00:06:24So many weddings together,
00:06:26but this procession was not an intuited journey.
00:06:29It's the countryside on its way to its new destiny.
00:06:32Was it really like that when you came here to work?
00:06:35Don't you have anything nicer to do?
00:06:37This man writes because he gets paid for it.
00:06:40You were supposed to be studying.
00:06:45You wouldn't make a living reading this rubbish.
00:06:52Wait a minute.
00:06:54This procession was not an intuited journey.
00:06:57It's the countryside on its way to its new destiny.
00:07:00What did you say?
00:07:02Nothing, nothing.
00:07:11First the girl, now the priest.
00:07:14What are you letting yourself in for?
00:07:17It's her brother.
00:07:19Here is his name and details.
00:07:22I see.
00:07:24And how many relatives does she have left?
00:07:27He's done nothing.
00:07:29They only pulled him in to frighten the others.
00:07:32It really shouldn't be a problem for you.
00:07:34It's a trifling request.
00:07:36It may seem a trifle to you,
00:07:38but nothing is trifling for the party.
00:07:41For goodness sake, let's talk like human beings.
00:07:44I'm in the party and this is the party's business.
00:07:47So you won't do it, even for me?
00:07:50You're the most concerned with.
00:07:52You say you're not in the party,
00:07:54but you are who you are thanks to it.
00:07:56You're a writer.
00:07:58You've got the system.
00:08:00Now don't pretend that you haven't made a choice.
00:08:02If you want to accept the system,
00:08:04you must accept its ways of holding power.
00:08:06Even if they appear sometimes unpleasant.
00:08:09Even if they sometimes appear immoral.
00:08:14Methods either work or they don't.
00:08:17I accepted the system because I believed
00:08:19that it must have a basic system
00:08:21and individuality.
00:08:23Tadek, I'm older than you by one holocaust.
00:08:26I remember in the ghetto you said to me,
00:08:29get up and go.
00:08:31Well, now I'm telling you,
00:08:33save yourself.
00:08:35No.
00:08:37All you're telling me is to abandon a man
00:08:39who needs my help.
00:08:41I shouldn't even be standing here listening to you.
00:08:44Even if I wanted to,
00:08:46I couldn't help you.
00:08:48I'm warning you.
00:08:50You are a writer.
00:08:52You have a name.
00:08:54But if you cross the party,
00:08:56you'll become a nobody.
00:08:58You'll be forgotten.
00:09:00We gave you your name and we can take it away.
00:09:02Are you going to do this thing for me or not?
00:09:04I'm sorry, but I have a meeting.
00:09:11The eras of Stalinism and the Cold War
00:09:13resulted in a constant pressure on Poles.
00:09:16Violence and distortion of the truth was used.
00:09:18The authorities tried by many means
00:09:20to deprive people of a sense of resistance
00:09:22and freedom of thought.
00:09:24In those days, Karol Wojtyła
00:09:26served as a vicar in St. Florian's parish.
00:09:29He quickly became famous
00:09:31as a good preacher, a confessor
00:09:33and an organizer of the lives of religious students.
00:10:03Hello.
00:10:15It's hard to find you.
00:10:17I've been looking for you since yesterday morning.
00:10:21I didn't realize you were working in an office.
00:10:24I've been prohibited from working as an actress.
00:10:27Do you want someone to type the manuscripts for you?
00:10:31No, no, no, nothing like that.
00:10:33I told you it was you I was looking for.
00:10:36What do you want?
00:10:40Do you mind if we go outside?
00:10:51Well?
00:10:56I've got it.
00:10:58You've come for my gratitude.
00:11:01I know you intervened in my brother's case.
00:11:04I didn't ask you to, but thank you.
00:11:09He's been released.
00:11:11Then he had a recurrence of tuberculosis,
00:11:13but now he's feeling better.
00:11:16I'm glad, but I don't want your gratitude.
00:11:19So why did you come?
00:11:21To see you.
00:11:23And you saw me.
00:11:26Something terrible has happened in my life.
00:11:30I need you.
00:11:32Yes, I heard you've been having trouble with the book.
00:11:35Please, don't be like this.
00:11:37Like what?
00:11:38I know what it feels like to feel terrible.
00:11:41It's very hard to carry on.
00:11:43It's of no importance anymore.
00:11:46It's just that I had no one else to turn to.
00:11:53Listen, my mother died yesterday.
00:11:57I loved her very much.
00:12:00And I thought you...
00:12:02But I was wrong. I'm sorry.
00:12:06Tadek!
00:12:12I'm sorry.
00:12:22I'm sorry.
00:12:52I'm sorry.
00:13:22Father, I don't blessed be Jesus Christ,
00:13:51but I haven't come to confess, only to comply with the formality.
00:13:54What formality?
00:13:56I want to be married in church.
00:13:58That's not a formality. It's a sacrament.
00:14:01You see, I'm not a believer.
00:14:03I don't believe in that.
00:14:06What is it you don't believe in?
00:14:11Look, if we're going to talk somewhere else,
00:14:15I don't feel very comfortable here.
00:14:17But if we are to comply with that formality,
00:14:20one of us has to sit down and the other one has to be on his knees.
00:14:24I don't believe that when God came to earth,
00:14:27He appeared in signs and words.
00:14:30All right. And what do you believe in?
00:14:36In the human ability to rise above human nature
00:14:41and create new worlds.
00:14:43Which is exactly the same.
00:14:45You don't believe in that. What do you believe in?
00:14:48Either God created us and descended to our level,
00:14:52or we created God and ascended to His level.
00:14:55God has created us in His own likeness,
00:14:58and we have created God.
00:15:00Whose likeness?
00:15:01Ours.
00:15:02In our image, we could create a tyrant, a dictator, or a clown.
00:15:09But the one we believe in is holy, loving, and selfless.
00:15:15From one day to good, we have created God in our likeness,
00:15:19based on the evidence of pure reason,
00:15:22which tells us what is good and what is evil.
00:15:25When you talk about the evidence of pure reason,
00:15:28you are one logical step away from faith.
00:15:31I need to be free.
00:15:34If I wanted to surrender, I would do it today.
00:15:38I mean peace of mind.
00:15:41Here's a paper for the parish office.
00:15:45Will you sign it, please?
00:15:47Let me just tell you that heart in theology means a person,
00:15:53and a person in the language of ethics is the same as truth,
00:15:57and truth in the language of faith is the same as God.
00:16:02If you love anyone, you are closer to God than you think.
00:16:08Now, you better come later to my office
00:16:13to talk about your marriage in church.
00:16:43Joseph Stalin, the leader of the world communism, died in March of 1953.
00:17:09The wave of unrest spread across Eastern Europe,
00:17:12especially in Poland.
00:17:14Important things took place.
00:17:17The primate, Colonel Wyszyński, was released from internment.
00:17:20Other bishops and priests were also released.
00:17:23The church gave its support to this process of change,
00:17:26and found a new ground to the advent of the new authorities.
00:17:29Thus, the tragedy which took place in Hungary was avoided.
00:17:37Could you sign your book, please?
00:17:39With pleasure.
00:17:45May I have a look around?
00:17:48I see that they publish your books.
00:17:51It was held up by the censors for two years.
00:17:55You obviously know I've been on an index.
00:17:59I warned you during our last conversation, but it was your own choice.
00:18:05You know Stalin's words.
00:18:08He's not with us, he's against us.
00:18:10You warned me, but you didn't help.
00:18:12I tried to help your brother-in-law, the priest.
00:18:14They let him out.
00:18:17I'm not looking for an alibi.
00:18:19Perhaps...
00:18:22I have to tell you something.
00:18:25You were right.
00:18:27There are more important things than successful methods.
00:18:31Do you remember how you got so angry over that?
00:18:34I was angry because you were inhuman.
00:18:38Well...
00:18:40I've since realized that ends don't use the hard means.
00:18:47You know, everything that happened was a terrible shock for me.
00:18:52I did believe in Stalin.
00:18:55Didn't you know about Germany?
00:18:57Oh, I knew many things.
00:18:59About the torture, purges, suppression.
00:19:03Almost everything.
00:19:06But I believed that it was a necessity.
00:19:12Perhaps it was the ghetto.
00:19:15Perhaps it was the Holocaust that taught me to have doubts about life
00:19:18and my hopes for the creation of a socialist state.
00:19:22And now?
00:19:24Now...
00:19:30I've handed over my ID card.
00:19:32I'm no longer in the committee.
00:19:34I'm nobody.
00:19:36So, what are you going to do?
00:19:39I'll try again.
00:19:42I'd like to write something about the history of the Jews in Poland.
00:19:47Become an academic?
00:19:50We should.
00:19:52Warsaw, 1958.
00:20:00Father, he's still in there.
00:20:05That priest is still in there.
00:20:07What priest?
00:20:08He says his name is Wojtyla or something.
00:20:10He came this evening.
00:20:12He's lying on the floor.
00:20:13He says he just became a bishop while he was having a nap in the river street.
00:20:17At least that's what I understood.
00:20:19Why don't you ask him if he'd like something to eat?
00:20:22He doesn't want anything.
00:20:50His train leaves for Kraków in two and a half hours.
00:20:54So please leave him alone.
00:21:06Karol Wojtyła was a bishop of the age of 38
00:21:10and functioned as a suffragan in Kraków.
00:21:13In addition to his pastoral duties,
00:21:15Wojtyla carried on with his theological studies.
00:21:18He led seminaries in Lublin and published numerous works.
00:21:22A book on the theme of love and marriage was his greatest achievement.
00:21:26The so-called odwilż after the upheavals of 1956
00:21:30led also to a much lesser tension between the church and the political authorities
00:21:34He tried this time to win over the will of the people.
00:21:55Hello. Do you want one of these?
00:22:12Here, have a little bit.
00:22:26Hello.
00:22:27Where are you from?
00:22:28I haven't seen you before.
00:22:29Kraków.
00:22:30This is Kraków.
00:22:32The old one.
00:22:35I'm from the university.
00:22:36What do you do here?
00:22:38Well, we've come to help raise the cross.
00:22:40How did you hear about that?
00:22:41Uncle told us.
00:22:43Uncle?
00:22:45Father Wojtyła.
00:22:47We all call him Uncle.
00:22:49He's a bishop, really.
00:22:50Maybe bread.
00:22:51I never believed it.
00:22:53Thanks.
00:22:55He comes skiing with us.
00:22:57And mountaineering.
00:22:59This priest of ours is all right, too.
00:23:00Otherwise I wouldn't be here.
00:23:02And if my grandmother didn't exist?
00:23:04Why wouldn't you?
00:23:06Well, I don't really believe in God.
00:23:19I don't believe in God.
00:23:49They put you on the boarder again.
00:24:04Don't they have younger?
00:24:05Only today.
00:24:06Then I'll go back to the base.
00:24:08What's so special about today?
00:24:10Oh.
00:24:11Nivellation of the road in Wienczyce.
00:24:13They can't manage without you.
00:24:16Order from the committee.
00:24:20It doesn't mean anything.
00:24:21Oh, yes.
00:24:23It's sacred.
00:24:24There's a committee, isn't it?
00:24:26There won't be any nivellation there.
00:24:28I'll tell you what.
00:24:29Don't get mixed up in this.
00:24:31Don't talk rubbish, Mother.
00:24:32That's what they do to you at the party.
00:24:34If they tell you to go, you go.
00:24:36If they tell you to spend the night with your wife, you would.
00:24:38Rubbish.
00:24:40Do you think I don't know what they're after?
00:24:42The church.
00:24:51They let him build it.
00:24:53They're going to build a church there.
00:24:56Well, maybe it's in the wrong place, or they changed their mind.
00:25:00They had no right to change their mind.
00:25:02Once localization had been confirmed, who asked you?
00:25:06Localization.
00:25:14Vladek, don't go.
00:25:17Tell them you're sick.
00:25:46Vladek, don't go.
00:25:47Tell them you're sick.
00:25:48Vladek, don't go.
00:25:49Tell them you're sick.
00:25:50Vladek, don't go.
00:25:51Vladek, don't go.
00:25:52Vladek, don't go.

00:26:00Vladek, don't go.
00:26:01Vladek, don't go.
00:26:02Vladek, don't go.
00:26:03Vladek, don't go.
00:26:04Vladek, don't go.
00:26:05Vladek, don't go.
00:26:06Vladek, don't go.
00:26:27Vladek, don't go.
00:26:55Vladek, don't go.
00:27:24Vladek, don't go.
00:27:48Vladek, don't go.
00:28:16Vladek, don't go.
00:28:17Vladek, don't go.
00:28:18Vladek, don't go.
00:28:19Vladek, don't go.
00:28:20Vladek, don't go.
00:28:21Vladek, don't go.
00:28:22Vladek, don't go.
00:28:23Vladek, don't go.
00:28:24Vladek, don't go.
00:28:25Vladek, don't go.
00:28:26Vladek, don't go.
00:28:27Vladek, don't go.
00:28:28Vladek, don't go.
00:28:29Vladek, don't go.
00:28:30Vladek, don't go.
00:28:31Vladek, don't go.
00:28:32Vladek, don't go.
00:28:33Vladek, don't go.
00:28:34Vladek, don't go.
00:28:35Vladek, don't go.
00:28:37The first truly socialist city in Poland.
00:28:39There's no room here for a church.
00:28:41Then why was permission given?
00:28:46Sometimes we make mistakes.
00:28:48So the permission was a mistake?
00:28:50What do you think?
00:28:51I think that if you follow a given promise,
00:28:54and then you go back on your word, they...
00:28:56You know what?
00:28:57It takes a bit of imagination to look ahead.
00:28:59Those people fighting now
00:29:00with sticks and stones
00:29:01to preserve their cross
00:29:02shouldn't come out
00:29:03from under the frock
00:29:04because a new generation is growing.
00:29:06Soon the churches will be empty.
00:29:08They'll no longer be needed.
00:29:09People will see for themselves
00:29:10which side is true is on.
00:29:12Are you from the country?
00:29:14Yes, near Kalwaria.
00:29:16What farm?
00:29:18About four acres.
00:29:20There you are.
00:29:21Now you've got a bath,
00:29:22a central heating,
00:29:23a good job.
00:29:25I suppose you're studying.
00:29:26In the mining academy.
00:29:28Who gave you that?
00:29:29The church?
00:29:30Or the government?
00:29:31Yes, I understand that, but...
00:29:33Hello?
00:29:34Yes.
00:29:36Yes, thank you.
00:29:54Blessed be Jesus Christ.
00:29:56I must see his excellency.
00:29:58Forever and ever, Amen.
00:29:59I'm sorry, Father.
00:30:00I'm afraid it's not possible.
00:30:03But I had to.
00:30:04I'm from New Britain.
00:30:06The archbishop knows.
00:30:08People are ready to confront,
00:30:09ready to fight.
00:30:11A great thing might happen
00:30:12if anything goes wrong.
00:30:14We are praying that it doesn't.
00:30:17What am I to do?
00:30:19Last night, the archbishop
00:30:20sent Bishop Gordon
00:30:21to see the primate.
00:30:23He's taking him back tonight.
00:30:25What am I going to do
00:30:26for the rest of my life?
00:30:29My mind is filled already.
00:30:31No.
00:30:32Certainly not.
00:30:35How do you know?
00:30:36I trust.
00:30:38When Bishop Gordon was leaving,
00:30:40I asked him,
00:30:41what if something bad should happen there?
00:30:45And he told me,
00:30:46trust.
00:30:47I repeat it to you
00:30:48as a message from our pastor.
00:31:01What do you know?
00:31:02I'm not going to tell you.
00:31:05Come to us,
00:31:06merciful Lord,
00:31:09to help us.
00:31:11And lift us up
00:31:12from the powerful hands
00:31:13of the enemy.
00:31:15Help us.
00:31:18In 1962,
00:31:19the Ecumenical Council,
00:31:20started by Pope John XXIII,
00:31:23began its work
00:31:24on the renewal of the Church.
00:31:26A great impact
00:31:27on the Church
00:31:28in the modern world
00:31:30was made by Carol Wojtyła,
00:31:32at the end of the first session of the Council.
00:31:35Pope Paul VI,
00:31:36the successor of Pope John,
00:31:37and Bishop Wojtyla,
00:31:38had stoved in the foundation
00:31:39of St. Peter's Basilica,
00:31:41the constructions
00:31:42to have led it
00:31:43in the foundations
00:31:44of the Church
00:31:45in Nowa Huta.
00:31:59For the most part,
00:32:01the holy buildings
00:32:02are barely visible.
00:32:24I am you.
00:32:27Can he hear me up here?
00:32:29I thought it was a building site.
00:32:35May the love of God the Father
00:32:37and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
00:32:39always be with you all.
00:32:43The church which is now abiding
00:32:45on this very spot
00:32:47has been waiting for you
00:32:49for many, many hours.
00:32:53The church which is now abiding
00:32:55on this very spot
00:32:57has been waiting
00:32:59through many hours
00:33:01of waiting,
00:33:03standing,
00:33:05kneeling, praying
00:33:07through your firm faith
00:33:09and your
00:33:11permanent will.
00:33:15I would like to say to the Lord Jesus,
00:33:19Look Christ,
00:33:21how rich have you grown.
00:33:23How many have come here
00:33:25in Nowa Huta
00:33:27to crown round
00:33:29your Polish Bethlehem.
00:33:43Where are you going?
00:33:45Polytechnic.
00:33:47You're on strike.
00:33:49It isn't just me there.
00:33:51They are my business.
00:33:53What are they fighting for?
00:33:55Freedom.
00:33:57The kind of freedom you want to find in there.
00:33:59Do you want to get beaten up or something?
00:34:05Where are you going, Dad?
00:34:07Where I should be.
00:34:09With this?
00:34:11Everybody's got one.
00:34:13To beat the students with?
00:34:15You don't have to beat them.
00:34:17You frighten them.
00:34:19Here.
00:34:21You're going to frighten me, Dad.
00:34:23You're not going anywhere.
00:34:25I haven't spent half of my life
00:34:27doing this.
00:34:29You're making some bloody silly nonsense.
00:34:31Listen, Dad.
00:34:33Stay at home.
00:34:35Why should you care about all this?
00:34:37I care about it because I care about Poland.
00:34:39What do you know?
00:34:41You've been fighting for Poland?
00:34:43Oh, yes.
00:34:45It's easy enough to cause trouble.
00:34:47Yes, and it's easy enough to beat people with clubs.
00:34:49You've done this to your people once before.
00:34:53Stay at home.
00:34:59He'll never listen to us.
00:35:01He's a big engineer now.
00:35:03He thinks he knows best, and that's that.
00:35:09They're here to pick you up.
00:35:15Come on. They're waiting for you.
00:35:17I'm not going.
00:35:19You go.
00:35:21Bring Staszek home.
00:35:23Let him see for himself.
00:35:25Maybe he knows best.
00:35:31They're honking at you.
00:35:39I'm not going.
00:35:47Come on.
00:36:17They treat me like I'm a hooligan.
00:36:21The students will love you as their defender.
00:36:25You defended them, too.
00:36:27You didn't let them out of your hands.
00:36:29The students won't love me.
00:36:33My university career is over.
00:36:35Have you read the papers today, Professor?
00:36:37No.
00:36:39I think you've written in them about Zionism.
00:36:41What has that to do with you?
00:36:43I think it all depends on
00:36:45what you understand about Zionism.
00:36:49Someone will have to escape
00:36:51from all this unrest.
00:36:53Did you know the story
00:36:55of the Jewish doctor and the pharaoh?
00:36:57Well, the doctor
00:36:59signed an enema for the pharaoh.
00:37:01But in his anger, the pharaoh
00:37:03ordered him to be a doctor.
00:37:05From that hour on,
00:37:07when the ruler felt unwell,
00:37:09he ordered an enema to all the Jews.
00:37:13You're being a little offensive, Doctor.
00:37:15No.
00:37:17I'm a historian.
00:37:19As a Marxist historian,
00:37:21you couldn't have foreseen
00:37:23such a course of events.
00:37:27Since 1956,
00:37:29I've noticed a discrepancy
00:37:31between theory and practice.
00:37:33But history is not limited
00:37:35to theoretical considerations.
00:37:37Well, what's your conclusion?
00:37:39You might say
00:37:41I'm trying to cast doubts about Marxism.
00:37:43Well, that's not the case.
00:37:47I question my doubts
00:37:49about a Marxist state.
00:37:53Nevertheless,
00:37:55I will still try and continue
00:37:57my work as a Marxist scholar
00:37:59here in this country.
00:38:01In this country.
00:38:03My country.
00:38:05Which I shall never leave
00:38:07under any pressure that may be put on me.
00:38:11We demand the freedom of speech.
00:38:41You fuckers!
00:38:55Leave her alone!
00:39:06Fuck off!
00:39:12Leave her alone!
00:39:14Come on!
00:39:40What's happened?
00:39:45You just wanted to scare us, didn't you?
00:39:51You don't know what you've done to Magda!
00:39:55Let her go! What are you doing?
00:39:58Shut up!
00:40:00You hate her!
00:40:15He hit his father!
00:40:20That's what you get for picking him up without God!
00:40:44When the situation arose, there was a further confrontation.
00:40:47A more effective coalition of workers, intellectuals and students emerged.
00:40:51Illegal free trade unions began to come into existence.
00:40:55Under royal obligations, which had escaped censorship,
00:40:58the Church always contributed with help and shelter.
00:41:04Should be enough.
00:41:06Stay here. I'll talk to him.
00:41:12Excuse me, can I ask you something?
00:41:15Can we talk outside for a moment?
00:41:36Your book, it's a bit primitive.
00:41:38The pages haven't come out well.
00:41:40The militia have taken out the press.
00:41:43But the print is marvellous.
00:41:46It's marvellous.
00:41:48This is a real book.
00:41:49Do you have a better one?
00:41:51No, my friend.
00:41:53This one is the most beautiful.
00:41:55May the content be worthy of your efforts.
00:41:58Do you know that we've destructed nearly every book that we had?
00:42:01Just now, on the way in.
00:42:04Do all these people have my book?
00:42:07Not all of them.
00:42:08Well, not quite everybody.
00:42:10Sorry.
00:42:13Maybe we should have shortened it a bit.
00:42:16Shortened it a bit, perhaps.
00:42:18I think it's absolutely marvellous.
00:42:23I hope my work is worth all the risks you've taken.
00:42:30Prison, losing your job, taking your passports.
00:42:33You've already done that.
00:42:35What?
00:42:36Don't worry, we don't want to go.
00:42:38We like it here.
00:43:04I have chosen some poems by Czesław Miłosz.
00:43:09Our greatest living poet.
00:43:12He's been living abroad for many years.
00:43:15None of the pain is mentioned in the press.
00:43:19In 1967, Karol Wojtyła was elevated to the College of Cardinal.
00:43:24It was largely due to his efforts, but nicely in court,
00:43:28the priest who gave his life to save a fellow prisoner in Auschwitz was beatified.
00:43:34In 1976, Pope Paul VI invited Karol Wojtyła
00:43:38and invited him over a special retreat on 6th of April.
00:43:42He had just two weeks to prepare his sermon,
00:43:44and this task made all the difference by the end of the term,
00:43:48which affected completion of a controversial church in Nowa Huta,
00:43:51a project near to Karol Wojtyła's heart.
00:44:13Look, a pair of matilla.
00:44:15Very good. Thank you.
00:44:33I met the Pope's retreat this morning.
00:44:36In the chapel over there.
00:44:38I would like to start with the well-known words.
00:45:05Jesus Christ became obedient to death,
00:45:09as the church sings in the liturgy for Maundy Thursday.
00:45:15I remember the first experience of these words and this liturgy
00:45:18in the magnificent surroundings of the Cathedral of Wawel,
00:45:21the Great Altar and the Archbishop of Krakow,
00:45:24the unforgettable priest Adam Stefan Sapieha.
00:45:28In the words of St. Paul about the obedience of Jesus to death,
00:45:32absolute silence fell.
00:45:35I felt that it was not only we, the living people, who were silent,
00:45:39but silent also was the history of my nation,
00:45:44in which the history of my nation is concentrated.
00:45:47The whole of humanity, the church, the world, the past,
00:45:51the present and future,
00:45:53were absorbed in that deep, religious, worshiping silence.
00:45:58In the face of the fact that Christ became obedient to death,
00:46:03man became unjust through his first disobedience to his Creator.
00:46:09And this is why Christ became obedient to death.
00:46:15This act of justice towards God
00:46:18was left to man as an inexhaustible source of justice.
00:46:24There were and are still programs of healing the world,
00:46:28which promise true justice to the people.
00:46:32Not one of them can be completed
00:46:34if it does not contain the justification towards God,
00:46:38which is possible by the obedience of Christ,
00:46:41for obedience to death.
00:47:23What?
00:47:24I have to go to work. People are waiting.
00:47:27Where is my card?
00:47:30You'll have to see the director.
00:47:47Nobody's going to do your work for you.
00:47:49What is this? Strike?
00:47:52We'll only start work when the foreman comes back.
00:47:55You know very well he's not coming back. He's been transferred.
00:47:58Transferred? He's been thrown out.
00:48:00The management has the right to transfer or to sack employees.
00:48:03What for?
00:48:06Probably he was doing a very good job.
00:48:08How long have you been here?
00:48:09He's been working here since the beginning. He built these steelworks.
00:48:12I'm not going to discuss it with you people.
00:48:14Oh yeah, that's it. We've just got to keep our mouths shut and work.
00:48:17He fought for our rights, free Sundays, family hours.
00:48:21So you've thrown him out.
00:48:23Those things are taken care of by the trade unions.
00:48:26Trade unions?
00:48:28Are you going back to work or not?
00:48:30No way.
00:48:32All right. We'll talk differently.
00:48:35You haven't heard the last of me. You can go.
00:48:37Go on.
00:48:39Go on.
00:48:40Get back to work.
00:48:44I won't give in so easily.
00:48:46I'll take you to court.
00:48:48You can, but I don't advise you to do it that way.
00:48:51The factory unions spoke to each of your people.
00:48:54They all admitted that you incited them to strike.
00:48:57You disorganized their work.
00:49:02Only 40 wagons, Comrade Director.
00:49:05But we'll do better tomorrow.
00:49:08They're afraid.
00:49:10If I was there, they'd talk differently.
00:49:13It seems that your successor manages the brigade better.
00:49:16Everything is going smoothly now.
00:49:18Please, come and see the men with me.
00:49:21There's no reason to.
00:49:23I have a right to see my workmates.
00:49:26Yes, outside the steelworks.
00:49:28If you don't work here anymore, you have no right to be in court.
00:49:31I have a right to see my colleagues.
00:49:33Yes, outside the steelworks.
00:49:35If you don't work here anymore, you have no right to be in the factory.
00:49:39Listen.
00:49:41I've been working here for 25 years.
00:49:45I built it all.
00:49:47And the foundation's up.
00:49:49Stop carrying on, or you might get into trouble.
00:49:52Don't you try to frighten me.
00:49:54You're scared yourselves.
00:49:57You know I don't work to make them feel about you.
00:50:00You can't cheat them anymore.
00:50:03They see how you're running with your mismanagement.
00:50:06Just stop causing trouble and get out.
00:50:12Get out?
00:50:14You get out of your offices, or the workers will throw you out.
00:50:19You'll see now that we can defend ourselves.
00:50:23This is Wladek Nowak from the factory.
00:50:26I want all of you to stop working and come to the main gate.
00:50:30You don't even know how to work that thing.
00:50:53We're honest people.
00:51:14We've always been honest people.
00:51:19Are you finished now?
00:51:22Finished?
00:51:49Is this?
00:52:14What is this?
00:52:17Can I ask you something?
00:52:22Illegally printed books.
00:52:24Without the permission of the censorship.
00:52:31And leaflets.
00:52:34About the mass.
00:52:36On the anniversary of the strikes.
00:52:39In Gdansk.
00:52:41You're in trouble.
00:52:43This is anti-state activity.
00:52:47Which one of you is spreading these publications?
00:52:51I am.
00:52:52They're mine.
00:52:53Dad!
00:52:55Quiet when the child is talking.
00:52:58I'm spreading those leaflets.
00:53:02Why?
00:53:04So that they remember the wrong done to the workers.
00:53:08You've already caused trouble at work.
00:53:11And now you've become a barhole.
00:53:18You'll have to come with us.
00:53:42I'm sorry.
00:53:45They won't keep him long.
00:53:47This is the first time.
00:54:18On this the anniversary of the tragic December events.
00:54:26When the blood was shed in Gdansk, Dynia and Szczecin.
00:54:31I would like to quote the words of our pastor Cardinal Wojtyla.
00:54:35Who said.
00:54:37The working peoples.
00:54:40The workers of Poland.
00:54:42Form an enormous mass of believers.
00:54:46Friends of Christ.
00:54:48Who want above all love.
00:54:51Between men.
00:54:54They have no wish to hate anyone.
00:54:57But they have their own consciousness.
00:55:00The consciousness of their rights.
00:55:03Based on the constitution and the laws of the state.
00:55:08They are aware of the right to freedom of religion.
00:55:12The right to freedom of conscience.
00:55:15And they want these basic laws of respect for human dignity.
00:55:22To be fully upheld.
00:55:26In August 1978.
00:55:29After 15 years of pontificate.
00:55:31Pope Paul VI died.
00:55:34After an unusually short conclave.
00:55:36A new pope was elected.
00:55:37Cardinal Albino Luciani.
00:55:39Who took the name of John Paul I.
00:55:44Those two names were meant to link the new pontificate.
00:55:47And the endeavors of the two papacy.
00:55:49To renew the Church in the spirit of the Vatican Council.
00:55:53Many hopes were set on the new pontificate.
00:55:56But after only 33 days.
00:55:58Pope John Paul suddenly died.
00:56:09For the second time this year.
00:56:11At the conclave assembly.
00:56:13And the difficult task of selecting a new head of the Universal Church.
00:56:17The rest of our partners isolated in the Sistine Chapel.
00:56:33Why does the smoke in the Sistine Chapel come out black or white?
00:56:39White is not smoke, it's steam.
00:56:41Someone puts wet straw on the fire.
00:56:45I can't think of any other explanation.
00:56:51Last year we were working on a Slovak poem.
00:56:53The one about the coming of the Pope.
00:56:56The one about the coming of the Pope.
00:56:58You wrote that over a hundred years ago.
00:57:00That doesn't change the vision of it.
00:57:02Yes, it does.
00:57:04Paul was a poet, not a prophet.
00:57:17Can I?
00:57:19There you are.
00:57:26Well, if the conclave's over soon.
00:57:29Uncle may still be able to join us.
00:57:33Is it the same time here as it is in Rome?
00:57:36Yes, it is.
00:57:37I'm afraid so.
00:57:39Let's see if we can get the Vatican.
00:58:32VATICAN
00:58:50VATICAN
00:59:02Teo, gracias.
00:59:09Teo, gracias.
00:59:13Gracias.
00:59:43Tadek, what do you want?
00:59:54You're not happy.
00:59:56Of course I'm happy.
00:59:59You don't seem happy.
01:00:01It's just...
01:00:04I'm afraid for him.
01:00:07Will they understand all that he's been through?
01:00:11All that makes him what he is?
01:00:14In a way, he'll be alone from now on.
01:00:19Yes, dear, that's true.
01:00:22But it is his calling.
01:00:26I had so many things I wanted to talk to him about.
01:00:33I'll never tell him what I've been dealing with for so long.
01:00:38He'll never come back.
01:00:40Even if he does, he'll only do it to say goodbye.
01:00:48Come on, let's go.
