Don't Cry When I'm Gone (2016)

The film's title Don't cry when I'm gone comes from the popular song, performed by the Italian singer Marino Marini who visited Poland in the 60s. The lyrics were written by Wanda Sieradzka, the author of many Polish pop hits. This film is about her - a woman who survived the historical turmoil, Warsaw Ghetto and miraculously avoided annihilation by the Nazis to build a great artistic career in a postwar Poland. The story of Wanda's extraordinary life is being told by her friends and her only son, who got back home after years of living abroad to look for the traces of his mother's past. Don't cry when I'm gone is a documentary directed by Slawomir Grünberg, EMMY Award winner, the creator of critically acclaimed Karski and The Lords of Humanity.
