WOMEN'S DAY - UK FILM PREMIERE

Described by many as a Polish 'Erin Brockovich', Women's Day follows the troubles and dilemmas of the heroine, Halina Radwan (Katarzyna Kwiatkowska) in her fight for justice against an unscrupulous, low-cost supermarket-chain, 'Motylek' (Butterfly)
The plot is based on the true story of a former manageress of a cut-price supermarket chain in Poland. She took the chain to court for twenty-six thousand złoty (over five thousand euro) for two-and-a-half thousand hours of unpaid overtime.

The film is an indictment of what Poles call 'dziki' (wild) capitalism in which employees are compelled to work semi-legally. Such capitalism is a result of Poland's comparative poverty by European Union standards, with minimum wages as little as (one euro) an hour, and chronic unemployment which forces workers to fight to keep almost any kind of employment.
