The Greenville Jewish Federation and the Greenville Jewish Film Festival
The award-winning March ‘68 set against the harrowing backdrop of 1960s Warsaw, where the specter of Soviet purges looms large and anti-Semitism permeates societal norms, March ‘68 intertwines a story of love and protest — inspired by a moment in time that shaped the social consciousness of director Krzysztof Lang.
March ‘68 tells the story Hania, a student at the state theater school, experiences political awakening and her own personal revolution. At first, Hania is blinded by love, falling intensely for technology student Janek, whom she meets at a play opening; gradually, however, she comes to realize that her fellow Jewish citizens—including Hania’s doctor father—are being persecuted in a series of anti-Semitic purges conducted in response to the hate-fueled rhetoric of Poland’s leader, Władysław Gomułka. When her family decides to emigrate for their own safety, Hania doesn’t want to join them, and instead tries to build a life with Janek. However, things spiral out of control, leading to a powerful climax set during the infamous events of March 1968. Enjoy an evening of a good movie.
