Against the backdrop of political resistance and upheaval, and told through two perspectives, viewers will piece together events from August to October of 2020 in Warsaw, Poland. UAF uses theatrical storytelling on film and live social media platforms to explore queer protest in contemporary Poland. This narrative is told through interrelated mediums: a fictional documentary about a Polish queer punk band shot by Lena\u2014a Polish-Canadian settler\u2014and the band\u2019s social media accounts created by the lead vocalist and Poland-native Chlapa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
