Miniaturki plansz filmowych
Mimo zasp i zamieci snieżnych w wielu miastach USA nasze paczuszki z DVD angielskiej wersji filmu "Kosciuszko - Poland Will Yet Dance Again" dotarły do adresatów. Otrzymujemy już pierwsze opinie ekspertów.

Anthony Bajdek: Please accept my sincere congratulations for, and admiration of, your documentary production, Kosciuszko: Poland Will Yet Dance. From the initial concept stage through the challenge of creating a compellingly-intelligent, accurate narrative script and providing an appropriate very high-quality, smoothly-flowing visual and audio substance throughout, it clearly reflects unwavering commitment and an unparalleled labor of love on your part and that of your Kosciuszko Heritage associates. As a work of art and a vehicle for educating people largely if not completely uninformed about the altruistic life of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, it deserves without question the highest accolades. Even among those who may consider themselves sufficiently informed about Kosciuszko, I speculate that the quality of the inherent artistry reflected in Kosciuszko: Poland Will Yet Dance will go on to stand as a refreshing modern example for reconsideration of his life, the latter point being a necessary ingredient for sustaining his memory as a hero for the ages world-wide. (Anthony J. Bajdek, Founder & President of the American Asociation of the Friends of Kosciuszko at West Point; Associate Dean (rtd) and Senior Lecturer in History, Northeastern University, Boston, MA, PAC activist, awarded Cavalier's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland - Krzyż Kawalerski Orderu Zasługi Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej). Also awarded Kosciuszko Medal by the Kosciuszko Mound Committee. Named by the American Polish Eagle as Citizen of the Year 2008.)


Anthony Kajencki I am writing to thank you for the copies of Kosciuszko: Poland Will Yet Dance. The documentary, a historical production about one of my heroes, is an extraordinary presentation of Kosciuszko's captivity in Russia. I commend you and Kosciuszko Heritage for the outstanding production of such a uniquely creative film. This musical documentary about Kosciuszko and his heroic exploits in Poland and Europe after the American Revolution provides historical education about and insight into the character of Thaddeus Kosciuszko, the Purest Son of Liberty. And upon review, this production in many ways completes the historical story of a mortal man and his compatriots through whose acts of patriotism and virtue immortalized Thaddeus Kosciuszko forever as a "hero of two continents." Your documentary uniquely highlights the art and music composed about and by Kosciuszko and his extraordinary life. It is truly a wonderful addition to the existing scholarly work about the life and times of a legendary man. Thank you again for this historical documentary and for providing an invaluable resource to Polonia and the world.

Gen. Edward Rowny (aged 99): This portion of Ernestyna Skurjat-Kozek’s biography of Thaddeus Kosciuszko recounts the courageous and patriotic struggle for the independence of Poland is done in an incomparable splendid fashion. The earlier portion of Kosciuszko's biography dealing with his success at the Battle of Saratoga, leading to the independence of the United States, and the creation of the United States Military Aca, is equally well covered in a documentary film titled, Kosciuszko - A Man Ahead of His Time by Alex Storozynski. Ernestyna’s documentary is a beautiful blend of artwork which pays tribute to the naming of the highest point in Australia, symbolizing the great admiration and respect the Australians have for this intrepid leader of freedom everywhere.(General Edward Rowny (aged 99),President of American Polish Advisory Council,President R. Reagan's chief negotiator on Strategic Nuclear Arms and Special Advisor on Arms Control; played similar role working for 4 other American Presidents: Nixon, Ford, Carter and George H.

Alex Storozynski: Kosciuszko was a prince of tolerance ahead of his time who stood up for the rights of all races and religions. The film “Kosciuszko: Poland will yet Dance,” produced by Ernestyna Skurjat-Kozek, President of Kosciuszko Heritage Inc (KHI), is an important step in preserving Kosciuszko’s legacy for the people of Australia.Alex Storozynski a Pulitzer Prize winner journalist, former President and Executive Director of the Kosciuszko Foundation, author of “The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution" (2009), which won several awards; producer of a documentary film “Kosciuszko: A Man before His Time”; awarded Officer’s Cross of the Merit of the Republic of Poland.
