Click here to watch the trailer. Time 8 mins.Tadeusz Kosciuszko, a hero of the American War of Independence
and a great advocate of equal rights, democracy and freedom,
returned to Poland in 1784 to fight for the nation’s independence.The Head of the Insurrection, wounded badly in the unsuccessful
battle of Maciejowice, fell into Tsarist captivity in 1794. The
Insurrection crumbled and Poland was partitioned. Kosciuszko and
the statesman Julian Niemcewicz, along with a group of generals,
were imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg.
This difficult period and the ensuing tribulations are the focus of
the film Kosciuszko: Poland Will Yet Dance, which proves that we
should never lose hope, because even in the worst defeat there is a
glimmer of victory.
The film is dedicated to our Ngarigo friends, on whose traditional territories Mount Kosciuszko is located. The highest peak in
Australia was named by Paul Edmund Strzelecki, a son of an
Insurrectionist. His intention was that the name of the peak remind
everyone of the ideals of equal rights, democracy and freedom: the
ideals to which Kosciuszko devoted his life, and which today form
the core of social life in Australia.
