The film tells the story of a disturbing conspiracy of silence that has gripped the community. People are afraid to express their opinions, aware that the police are involved in the events. The main subject of the documentary is the brutal murder of 17-year-old Iwona Cygan. The filmmakers try to unravel the mystery of who was responsible for harboring the perpetrators and why this happened for years. However, while watching the film, it is worth bearing in mind that the theories and actions of investigators and the actions of the judiciary are clearly subordinated to the political goals of the Law and Justice party government. To achieve media success, coercion was used to obtain confessions and reliance was placed on anecdotal evidence, as documented by reporter Matthew Baczynski. As a result, the suspects became media convicts and their lives turned into a nightmare.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
