A new documentary, “Godspeed, Los Polacos!”, just won the Best Adventure Film and Audience Choice awards at the Boulder International Film Festival. After claiming the first descent of the world’s deepest canyon, five university students from Krakow risk it all to fight for democracy.

Film subject and ECWG Fellow Piotr Chmielinski (who went on to claim the first source-to-sea descent of the Amazon River) will be in attendance. Piotr says: “This is a BIG SURPRISE for me and my friends from the Canoandes ’79 Expedition to receive these awards 40 years after we completed our expedition.” The movie has already won major awards at BANFF, the Boulder International Film Festival, and other festivals around the world.

There will be an advanced screening of the film in Arlington, VA, this coming August 5th and 7th. Tickets can be purchased through the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington, VA.)
