During the years of the Polish People's Republic, Poles were cut off from the western world. This situation led to a period of great ingenuity in the realm of media. Coupling archival research with in-depth interviews, this book explores media behind the Iron Curtain, bringing to life the talent and determination of the PPR's new media pioneers.
