Summary/Abstract: Maria Kobielska analyzes popular feature films about Martial Law (Popiełuszko. Freedom Is in Us directed by Rafał Wieczyński, Everything I Love by Jacek Borcuch, and Andrzej Wajda's Wałęsa: A Man of Hope), perceiving recognizable memory cliches about this event, and mutually exclusive memory images that serve defined political functions. Kobielska proves the massive influence of politics on how the Martial Law narrative is shaped. Recreating the event in the sphere of cultural memory becomes, she feels, both a medium of memory and authority.
