Abstract
The author reconstructs the history of the production and distribution of one of the most important documentary films of the interwar period: Sztandar wolności (Banner of Freedom, 1935) by Ryszard Ordyński. By examining the intricate production process, he seeks to determine who produced the picture, for what purposes, and in what political circumstances, what was its perception in Poland and abroad, and finally how the mechanisms of its export worked. The research is based on press articles and on previously unexplored materials from the Archiwum Akt Nowych (Central Archives of Modern Records in Warsaw) and the New York State Archive in Albany.
