WE CICHOCIEMNI. THE DARK AND SILENT ONES

POLISH TITLE: MY CICHOCIEMNI. GŁOSY ŻYJĄCYCH

The Dark and Silent Ones- name given to the Polish soldiers ( both men and women), who in the beginning of the IIWW (1939) were forced to escape from the occupied by Germans and Russians Poland and after enrollment into exclusive secret military units in England, came back to their homeland by the shortest way ( with paraschuts and in disguise ) in order to fight against the occupants for freedom. Now, some of them who have survived till these days (old people) are telling their stories, which are both thrilling and fascinating. At the age of 80, they can speak only onw so openly about their achievements when they were those of 20. And it is surely their patriotism that remains still the same as before. The stories are interfered with the archive photos as well as some reconstructed scenes.
