Another Insight into the KATYN Massacre Mystery - The Last Witness review by KW
A very interesting film covering initially the suicides of a significant number of Polish soldiers living in the Uk and a leak that lead to a British journalist uncovering the facts of the KATYN massacre which governments of the day were so desperate to cover up for what ever reasons? The story line kept moving at a very steady pace keeping one enthralled and the acting of the ensemble cast was outstanding.
