Meeting with producers Karolina Galuba and Małgorzata Małysa following the screening of TONY HALIK
Language: Polish
He knew everyone, he filmed everyone, everybody wanted to talk to him: Fidel Castro, Queen Elizabeth II, Evita Peron, Richard Nixon… TONY HALIK is the story of a man who crafted his own legend so carefully that we still don’t know what was and wasn’t true. The movie was based on unpublished footage from the private archives of Tony Halik and Elżbieta Dzikowska, as well as an extensive interview with the traveler’s son. It’s a tale about one man’s passion for travel and the price he had to pay to make his dreams come true.

A voracious watcher, which leaves her less time for reading; her holidays are filled with hard work sailing the seas.
