“Director Ryszard Bugajski characterises the conspiracy thriller as, ‘a picture about a battle between good and bad… about the clash between officials and ordinary people, who through their hard work and ingenuity are trying to build a new Poland.’…The creators of The Closed Circuit received the Vector Award from the Employers of the Republic of Poland Association, a prestigious prize given out since 2002 to people involved in business, politics, culture and the media. ‘For having courage to show the truth about the problems faced by Polish entrepreneurs in confronting the ruthless bureaucratic machine,’ the jury justified their choice, ‘and their perseverance in bringing the film to a close.'”

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
