Jerzy Popieluszko (Yeh’-zhey Pop’-e-woosh-ko) was a
Polish Catholic Priest and the chaplain and friend of Solidarity movement members
in Communist-controlled Poland when three members of the secret police beat him
to death and threw his body into the Wloclawek Reservoir. He was 37 years old.

Father of
Freedom is a documentary about the
life and martyrdom of this amazing man.
This blog will follow the final months of production, post-production,
and release of the film. We’ll follow the producer, Paul Hensler, and director,
Tony Haines, to Warsaw, Poland, Father Jerzy’s home, and on to Rome, Italy, and
the seat of the worldwide Catholic faith.
We’ll follow the production through it’s final post-production
phases at Digital Video Arts and on to its appearance at film festivals and
eventual theatrical distribution, all the while posting artwork, short stories,
interviews, and clips from the film.
Join us on our journey that will introduce the world to the next great
hero of human rights.
