In recent years, this film was not broadcast on TVP. It could, of course, be seen on other channels, but not on those belonging to the public media. It was broadcast by Polsat, TV4, ZOOM TV and Kino Polska. Since 2015, TVP has consistently stated that this production does not exist.

The presence of Andrzej Wajda’s painting so soon after retaking the public media from PiS did not go unnoticed. Former TVP Info “experts” were particularly active, invited to comment on current political events.

A great program of re-education of Poles begins. Tonight on TVP, Wajda’s masterpiece “Wałęsa. Man of Hope”. These media of the Tusk regime will be a great brainwashing… – wrote Zdzisław Krasnodębski, MEP from PiS.
