We invite you on an extraordinary journey through time to Żuławy - a picturesque land located at the mouth of the Vistula River into the Baltic Sea. Over the centuries, these areas had to cope with numerous floods that brought not only threats but also opportunities for development. Thanks to the system of protection created by the people living there, they successfully managed even in the most difficult years, enjoying prosperity and universal respect.

In our film, together with a special guest - Mr. Waldemar Nocny, who is a historian, writer, and educator, we will examine the history of floods in Żuławy and ways of dealing with them. It should be noted that Mr. Waldemar Nocny is the author of the script for this film. Moreover, in May 2023, he published the book "Drainage and Drying of Żuławy in 1945-1950," where the topic of Żuławy is discussed in a much broader context. We invite you to purchase this book at the Gdańsk Scientific Bookstore on Łagiewniki Street in Gdańsk or during promotional meetings with the author.

Gdańsk, history, floods, and the Vistula River - these are just some of the key words that evoke images and stories associated with Żuławy. Prepare for an engaging story that will take you to the heart of mysterious and picturesque landscapes and allow you to better understand the history and culture of this region. We invite you to watch!

If you would like to support our efforts, we invite you to buy a virtual coffee, which will help us develop our film activity.
