A startling commentary about the ugly side of capitalism. Three unlikely friends band together to start a factory business in Łodz during the manufacturing revolution. Though the trio is successful after many obstacles, struggles and swindles, it comes at the price of their morals and happiness. Wajda’s message that money and power are not always worth other sacrifices, still carries today. The Promised Land was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and won awards at the Moscow International, Valladolid International and Polish film festivals.
