Ultra-Nationalism in Poland | A Divided Country's Fight for Civil Rights (Polish Documentary)

- Опубликовано: 21 фев 2024
- Poland is more divided than ever before, between those who defend traditional values and those who want Poland to modernise and look to the future. The government has put in place an ultra-conservative policy which runs counter to the values of the European Union.
Despite injunctions issued by Brussels, Poland continues to exploit its black gold: coal. In the south-west of the country, Michal is a miner, like his father and grandfather before him. In 2022, 15 miners lost their lives in accidents caused by rock slides or fires. The use of coal makes Poland one of the most polluted states in Europe, and in many areas, the air has become toxic. In winter, the city of Rybnik is shrouded in a thick fog of coal particles that darken the sky and cause serious respiratory illnesses.
In Poland, many civil liberties are now under threat. The Law and Justice party, in power since 2015, is attacking women’s rights in particular. Poland, along with Malta, is one of the last remaining countries in the European Union ban abortion. As a result, 80,000 women have illegal abortions every year. The associations that help them risk criminal prosecution. We followed the trial of Justyna Wydrzyńska, who faces three years in prison for supplying abortion pills. Izabela, a thirty-year-old mother, died after doctors refused to terminate her dangerous pregnancy.
Indifferent to the president’s reactionary rhetoric, ultra-nationalist groups like the Youth of Greater Poland flourish. With flaming torches, dark suits and tightly packed ranks, its members march through the streets defending the idea of a white, Catholic and openly homophobic Poland. Faced with these threats, some LGBT activists are even considering fleeing abroad. Despite this, a large part of the population rejects this return to conservative ideology. The country is now divided between the defenders of traditionalist values and the supporters of a modern and tolerant Poland.
This film was first released in 2023 by Mathilde Gautry & Lucas Gregorio.

This is a good advertisement for sensible social policies of Poland. Great to see a gov't looking after it's people.
😊
Oh no! Poland does not accept far left ideology? What shall we ever do? Niech zyje Polska! Bog, honor i ojczyzna!
Poland is one of the few centrist countries left in Europe, they have not been captured by the minority alt-left socialists.
2:29 original: 'Father of Polish independence' English "translation": 'Father of Polish NATIONALISM'
:D
The thing with Poland and other eastern European countries, they don't share western European world views. You have to think Poland was occupied by both Nazis and Communists. They are not having it. They want to keep their country homogeneous.
You are right they don't share "Ultra-Socialist" views of a minority of western Europe.
Then they should stay in Eastern Europe and stop coming to Western Europe
At least Poland doesn’t have a racist problem like the UK ,we have 11 people of African descent in hospitals atm ,for taking the lives of 25 natives

Java discovery...take note; ownership. Country of origin
Good that they are preserving who they are
they were hard left commies thirty years ago and a non existing nation divided by Austria and Russia before that, "who they are" pff.
"Who they are"
That depends, communists? Monarchy or non existent...
@@bakielh229What are you talking about?? Who they are is a European Christian nation. They are also Slavic. All of this they rightly want to preserve. Not adopt the backwards depraved ideology of the West.
@@lukemurray4950 Then why is Poland a dog of NATO and one of the least developed nations in the European union? Slavic? Why are they stoking the flame of war with their brotherly Slavic neighbors to the east? The truth of the matter is - Poland has no identity, it's simply a forgotten backwater province of the western European empire.
@@lukemurray4950 Poland must resist western, anti-civilisation influence too, from both sides, not just the "woke" scourge but also, the conservative larpers, the trad-fetishists and all manner of destructive culture war exports by mainly the west.
It is the west, through the EU central government, that tells Poland to stop digging for coal, and it is the west that sends immigrants to Poland, and it is the west that imports high skilled labor from Poland and stokes the flame of divide between Polish people. It is the west that destabilized the eastern border and creates problems with Poland's neighbors to the east. Therefore Poland should be wary of who it allies itself with.
Yeah Poland! And Hungary!
Excellent documentary. Thankfully sanity and modernity has returned to Poland.
Isn't it that Polands coal is mostly anthracite, and they have been getting clean coal from the Donbas?
I love my Polish European cousins. I will not anger kohanie. She is a boss woman!
In some parts people burn tires, they are cheap and last longer...
One Thing I Hope Poland NEVER Embraces Is Illegal And Unvetted Immigration From North Africa And The Middle East. MANY Western European Countries Did That And It Destroyed Them, For Example Sweden Was One Of Those Countries, And It Totally BLEW Up In Their Faces. In Fact It Got So Bad That, They Voted In A More Right-Wing Or At Least More Pro-Borders Government, And The Current Government Has Said "NO MORE IMMIGRANTS!!!"
Stay strong Poland
and stay strong IN Poland, these guys have ruined the European job market with their low wage workers.
@@bakielh229They have ruined it?? More like the European Union and it's policies have! It's the same for every country. They are trying to ruin every societies sense of nationalism. Just like at the title of this video and the negative connotations they are trying to make.
@@bakielh229No the European Union have with their policies that destroying every European nation. They are anti nationalistic and want open borders.
@@bakielh229No that's the European Union and I can't even talk about it without my comments being deleted.
@@lukemurray4950 The censorship is unbelievable, so let's just agree on opposing that if nothing else.
Thanks for this interesting documentary
Yeah, it's interesting how wildly biased it is.
This is a hit piece against Christian values... It promotes Far-left ideologies...
poland is doing good .they are preserving who they are
why are the polish fleeing poland? oh
@@ohhi5237 According to statistics just 13.2 thousand people leave poland just because to get better opportunities. i am from pakistan and millions of people are leaving it same goes with india . Even though thousands also leave Germany just because they want to shift into another country.
1:29 The translation is completely wrong. He said "Your deeds kick you out of the Church, not the way you are. If someone isn't a devoted Catholic then it is what it is. However, they shouldn't tell their sexuality to the world". Shame on you, if it was done on purpose.
What about "Ultra-Socialism" like Germany ?
Oh no they are against the murder of unborn babies. How tragic 🙄🤦
thats like claiming your brain could be removed, dont be silly you have none
@@ohhi5237 How is it like having your brain removed?? That's a ridiculous statement on every level.
The translation is wrong!
Fortunately PiS is no longer in charge of the country. If I was Catholic I'd probably say 'thank God' but since I'm not I'll thank the majority of the Poles who want a normal country that doesn't discriminate some of its citizens. And doesn't steal the public money.
Polish INDEPENDENCE, not Polish nationalism; please translate properly. Besides, we Poles support this organisation, so we do not need your preaching. You have NOTHING to say about Polish affairs.
They are not divided
Great documentary
Totally biased hit piece... This is an Extreme-Left assault on Christian values and wanting to preserve your nation and peoples... Wake up
💯👍
lol, I am not for Polish BS, but this documentary spreads lies.
Anti-Christian hit piece
Poland isnt that diveted as europe want to be.
Paland is a stable country with ecenomic anf politic succes europe wish to have
Poland needs to understand that they belong to the eastern block always will so there is different rules for eastern European countries and western European ones that is a brutal truth unfortunately
Poland is North European country.
This is a wonderful thing because there is not advantage in being part of a decadent world like Western Europe ☠️🤡🧐
Goodd imo
We
😊
I'm in
🇺🇦🇷🇺👑️
Oh my god, what a propaganda, totally ideological video. It can be shown as an example of unsuccessful propaganda, so one-sided in terms of propaganda that it's just ridiculous.
