Synopsis

 “Siłaczki” portrays the lives of several Polish activists from cities like Poznań, Warsaw, Lublin and Cracow. This fictionalized documentary shows their efforts, obstinacy and consistency in their struggle for access to education and the work sphere, engagement in the independence movement and dedication to the ideas of freedom and emancipation, which led Józef Piłsudski, the Chief of State, to signing the decree on women’s voting rights on November 28th 1918.
