About the film

Anna Baumgart worked on "Conquerors of the Sun" in collaboration with avant-garde historian and art critic, professor Andrzej Turowski. Together they recreate the route of the agitation train which in 1920 was to reach Berlin via Poland to help the German Communist Party and bring revolutionary ideas to the West. However, it ended its journey in Koluszki near Lodz.
