In 1957, Andrzej Wajda shot his gripping film about the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 in the ruins of the Polish capital Warsaw, which had been destroyed by the German occupiers. The insurgents of the Polish Home Army, who were fighting underground, used the system of sewers as their main means of resistance. This film shows the desperate struggle of the people of Warsaw in this hopeless situation between existential threat and lack of help.
