Sewer
Andrzej Wajda’s gripping drama is set during the final days of the Warsaw Uprising in September 1944, when Home Army fighters attempt to escape the Nazi encirclement through a labyrinth of foul-smelling sewer tunnels. With stunning intensity and authenticity, Wajda captures the horrors of war both above and below ground.
