Year: 1984
Runtime: 106 mins
Language: English
Director: Jill Godmilow
Far from Poland, which Godmilow dubs a “drama‑tary,” challenges cinema‑verité’s claim to objectivity. Denied a visa, “Jillski” re‑creates the documentary from the US, using Poland’s crisis to show how documentaries promise truth while placating a bourgeois audience. The film says oppressed Poles see their oppression clearly than liberal American viewers.
