SCREENING OF THE FILM “JUDGES UNDER PRESSURE” AS PART OF THE 19TH NYSA FILM FESTIVAL

On Friday, 20.05.2022, within the framework of the 19th Nysa Film Festival, the European Center for Remembrance, Education, Culture held a screening of the documentary film entitled. “Sedziowie pod pressureją”, telling the story of the struggle of independent judges to preserve basic constitutional rights and independent courts in Poland.

The film screening was followed by a meeting with special guest – the face of the protest movement, Judge Igor Tuleya, and the film’s producer Iwona Harris. During the discussion with the audience, Igor Tuleya stressed that the crisis of the rule of law currently taking place in Poland is a matter for all countries of the European Union and can affect any of its member states – “It’s not happening in Poland, which means nowhere. It’s happening in Poland, which means everywhere.” These words are particularly relevant in the context of the Polish-German Europiastate of Zgorzelec-Görlitz, where the lives of citizens of both countries are constantly intertwined.
