Watch the Trailer for New Documentary about Director Roman Polanski’s Early Life in Krakow, Poland During World War II and the Holocaust

Share

“This documentary follows Roman Polanski in the city where he lived as a child, in the company of his lifelong friend, photographer Ryszard Horowitz, a Holocaust survivor, whom he met in the Jewish ghetto of Krakow during the Second World War. Together, they walk the streets and confront their memories…

Controversial director Roman Polanski had a life before his legal troubles.

He grew up in Krakow, Poland during World War II. His navigation through the war and the Holocaust have been written about but now Polanski talks about his memories of the time with Ryszard Horowitz. “Promenade a Cracovie” is being released abroad on July 5th. Mateusz Kudla et Anna Kokoszka-Romer are the directors. I hope someone in the US has the good sense to bring it here.
