Well, Gierek is hyped up a little bit in this film. He personally talks to the dissatisfied workers and introduces economic reforms (financed with foreign loans, which led to the economic crisis of the 1980s). Yes, even a fictional nuclear program unbeknownst to Moscow. The family relationships confirm this image of a dedicated patriot and politician who had the best interests of his country and people at heart. Well compared to the state of siege under Jaruzelski, a positive view of Gierek is perhaps not entirely surprising.

Despite this caveat, it is an interesting film.
