How did punk rock emerge in Poland? In the mid-1970s, in Ustrzyki Dolne in southeastern Poland, young people with dreams of becoming punks had to contend with a harsh response from the Security Service.

The early days of the rebellious band KSU were undoubtedly challenging, but their teenage defiance played a role in the changes that ultimately helped topple the rigid system, paving the way for a free and democratic Poland.

The results of this struggle will be revealed in theaters this fall.
