Wajda focuses on personal stories and a wider human tragedy in this Oscar-nominated film, set against one of the most painful and politically sensitive topics in Polish history: the 1940 massacre of thousands of Polish soldiers and intellectuals in the Katyn forest. A personal project for Wajda, whose father was murdered in the massacre, Katyń poignantly frames historical events through the stories of women looking for the truth about their missing relatives. Katyń was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film for the 80th Academy Awards.
