Bardzo długi marsz: „Niepokonani” Petera Weira wobec prozy Sławomira Rawicza
A very long walk: „The Way Back” by Peter Weir and Sławomir Rawicz’s creativity

Summary/Abstract: The Polish reaction to Peter Weir’s film “The Way Back” (2010) was centred on a discussion about the credibility of its literary prototype, Sławomir Rawicz’s book “The long walk” (1955). The author of the article does not discuss this controversy; she prefers to concentrate on the adaptation that was chosen by the director, who combines different interpretations of the phenomenon of freedom in his movie. Weir’s approach can be regarded as transnational and such a perspective is suggested as a context for the interpretation of “The Way Back”.
