10 years ago a plane with the
Polish President and 95 VIPs on board crashed just outside a Russian airport.
The dramatic events of the first few minutes right after the tragedy are retold
by special services officers, diplomats and pilots of another Polish plane,
which landed at the Russian airport 1.5 hours earlier.
Due to contradictory information regarding the course of events and causes of
the disaster, the film relies solely on reliable sources, revealing materials
from the Prosecutor’s Office and Ministry of National Defense, never previously
shown to the public. In the course of a journalistic investigation the
filmmaker was able to uncover documents and footage which are sensational in
nature and reveal a surprising course of events.
For many of them on board it was a journey of a lifetime, towards the mass
graves of their relatives sought for generations, secretly murdered by Stalin
during World War II. Will the silence regarding a crime from 70 years ago now
consume them?
If you want to live in a safe world, you have to face the truth…
