Film “303 Squadron” at Avalon Theatre in Washington, DC

30 stycznia, 2019

This Wednesday special screening of the film “303 Squadron”! The true story of the Polish pilots who became heroes of the Battle of Britain. Movie starts at 8 pm. Part of the CinePolska series. The first 15 people who mention “CinePolska” at the ticket desk get a surprise gift!

Based on Arkady Fiedler’s bestseller, the true story of the Polish pilots who were heroes in the Battle of Britain. Jan Zumbach, a.k.a. Donald, recovers from a plane crash in a sanatorium when World War II breaks out.  The Nazi onslaught forces him to escape from occupied Poland. A similar fate awaits the heroic flight instructor, Witold Urbanowicz. Both make their way to Great Britain and carry on the fight against the Nazi Luftwaffe. Quickly, their heroism and skill catch the attention of commanders, and an elite, Polish fighter squadron is created, 303 squadron. At first they are underestimated and mocked, but thanks to the outstanding patriotism and bravery of its members, the squadron quickly wins respect. 
 
“This is a story in direct conversation with our present moment, mapping how the airmen overcame xenophobia among their hosts by doing a sterling job. ” – Mike McCahill, The Guardian
