Voice of Hope Maciej Drygas /
Poland, France 2002 / 58 min
Several generations of Poles associate Radio Free Europe with
freedom or, more precisely, with the hope of attaining freedom.
In this documentary, Drygas films the memories of people who
would regularly sit in front of their receivers listening
to RFE. The broadcasts reported the 1956 Budapest uprising
and the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia, but also about events
in their own country and about its history. Reminiscences,
archive material, excerpts of RFE broadcasts are interlaced
here with statements by former employees of state radio stations,
which did their best to jam the Radio Free Europe signal.
