NEW The first in a series of four intimate documentaries on a nation at the turning point in its history. Together. In 1989, as the Communist regimes of eastern Europe were collapsing, a film crew quietly moved into a house in Warsaw. Their brief: to film Solidarity - once a group of underground dissidents, now turned politicians - as they struggled to create a new democratic
Poland. Throughout the year, access to the prime minister, his cabinet, Solidarity officials, Lech Walesa and their opponents revealed a close-up account of intrigue, fading dreams and a nation's dilemma.
