WALESA:
MAN OF HOPE:
WRITTEN BY:
- We have company again.
- That's possible.
Can they stop us?
The most famous journalist
from the West?
They're here for our safety.
It seems to me that this interview
could be very inconvenient for them.
Boys, clear up your toys.
Go wash your hands.
Slawek, take this away.
I'll check your hands, all right?
- A white shin.
- No. I didn't want this interview.
Bogdan, take this.
Wear a tie at least.
No! I'm not going to suffocate
for that brazen hag.
This is the home of the man
who leads a 10-million-member union?
He was recently given this place
by the authorities.
He accepted an apartment
from the authorities he's opposing?
Six kids and no money to live on.
Solidarity' didn't protest.
Are you sure?
What is he like?
He's full of contradictions.
And surprises.
I'm Oriana Fallaci.
It is a cold afternoon in Gdansk,
blanketed with snow and anxiety.
Wait, wait, wait.
Before we begin, we need to
agree on a few things.
I'm a simple worker,
but I don't feel inferior...
Not inferior to generals,
So let me ask the first question:
Will this interview help me or hurt me?
Listen, Mr. Walesa.
I can't tell you if you will
benefit from this or not.
It really depends on what you say.
And I'm the one asking questions.
Let's begin.
knew your name abroad or in Poland.
Today you're one of the most famous
people in the world.
When you're in Italy, you're welcomed
like a head of state. A movie star...
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Why?
You have an authoritarian,
dictatorial style.
I do, too. So now we have a problem.
Let's try this:
I'll be nice to youand you'll be nice to me.
Otherwise, we'll tear
each other to pieces.
We've talked once before. Why again?
Because I need to make sure
I've understood you correctly.
Brezhnev was clear on one thing: in Poland,
enemies of socialism are carrying out
counterrevolutionary activities.
And the Soviet Union will never
abandon its communist Polish allies.
This is only barking
Aren't you afraid of responsibility
towards your country and history?
- No, no, no...
- Or that you're not the right person?
I am a man of faith and I know
that the times call for someone like me.
DECEMBER 1970
DECEMBER 1970 12 December 1970 the
Council of Ministers has approved
an increase in prices of consumer goods.
The prices of meat preserves
are rising by 17.6%.
Wheat and rye flour by 16%.
Milk - 8%.
Jam and marmalade - 36.8%.
Cream of wheat - 23%.
I made it, I'm here!
Go now, Mr. Walesa!
Thank God you've taken a day off.
Go, go!
I'll wipe Danuta's feet myself.
Put on something warm.
It's freezing.
Lech!
Where's your scan'?
- I'll do it.
- No, you shouldn't bend over.
Your hair must be done. Don't want you
looking like this in the delivery room.
Eyebrows, too. Do you like them thick
or do you prefer a 'surprised' look?
And I'll throw in a perm for free.
Right. How on earth
am I going to pay for Christmas? Eh?
