Dzieci Jarocina (2000)

A documentary about the most famous Polish rock festival of the communist era – the Jarocin Festival. With the help of musicians who owe their artistic existence to this festival and its organizers, the filmmakers paint a picture of a legendary, almost mythical event. The very fact that a punk rock and hippie festival existed in a country behind the Iron Curtain was a phenomenon in itself. And when we realize the cultural significance of Jarocin, we understand that this festival was unique and irreplaceable. The film's director presents a wide range of people who appeared at the event over the course of its several years of existence, as well as artists who took their first steps on stage in the 1980s and are now "megastars" and pillars of Polish rock culture.
