TREASURES ON THE RUN documentary film 

     Treasures on the Run tells a gripping story of the evacuation of Polish National Treasures during World War II from Poland to Canada.

     This nail-biting account re-traces the journey of the Wawel treasures across Europe, against all odds, trying to stay one step ahead of the Nazi pursuers. The drama continues in Canada with a backdrop of Cold War hostilities, following two decades of political intrigue and rising international tensions.

     It is also a story of one man’s personal sacrifices, in order to protect the treasure, choosing his country’s valuable artifacts over his family or his reputation.

TRAILER COMING SOON

“The 34 cases were crammed with antiques: jewelled goblets, original Chopin manuscripts, Poland’s storied coronation sword, Szczerbiec. Their intrinsic value was in the millions, their historic value above price.”
