Death Of The President

From master director Jerzy Kawalerowicz (Austeria; Mother Joan of the Angels; Night Train) comes this gripping drama ripped from the pages of the history books.

When Poland is reborn after World War I, Professor Gabriel Narutowicz is elected to be the first President of the Polish Republic despite extensive turmoil between the nationalists and the minorities. A few days later, the historic leader is assassinated by a fanatic nationalist while opening an art exhibit.

Rendered in Kawalerowiczs powerful, detail-driven imagery, Death Of The President relates not only a real-life event but also a human story that is timeless.
