Bloodied But Unbowed: Uncut
At the Dawn of the 20th century, Chicago was the second largest city in the United States with over 2,000,000 residents. It was also the center of Polish culture and political activism in America. With Poland partitioned between Russia, Austria and Germany, over 4,000,000 Poles immigrated to the United States between 1870 and 1920 in search of a better life. In Chicago, they worked in some of the most dangerous factories and mills in the United States. In their neighborhoods, they built communities, churches, and most of all, aided their beloved Poland in her fight for independence. Their story is known as the "Fourth Partition". Starting with the arrival of the first documented Poles in Jamestown in 1608, the film discusses political and economical reasons for the mass Polish migration at the turn of the 20th century. Featuring rarely shown photographs and films, the film talks about old Chicago Polish neighborhoods, as well the jobs people had living in these neighborhoods. It discusses their culture, daily life, and their political activism during the first world war.
