Śmierć Okrzei

Śmierć Okrzei

The year 1905: a young revolutionary, Stefan Okrzeja, carries out a bomb attack on a police station. He is captured and sentenced to death by hanging. He is followed by other revolutionaries who stand up to fight for their rights and privileges. 'Death of Okrzeja' is one of the more enigmatic films in FINA's collection. Its cast remains anonymous, we do not know its proper title, even the year of production is uncertain. The final scenes featured an authentic participant in the events in question, Ignacy Daszyński. This is a rare example of a Polish fictionalized documentary film from the 1920s.
