As I'm proud of my roots, I'd like to present a particularly interesting Polish TV series ”Into Deep Water”, awarded with the Gold Plaques in the Festival "The Hugo TV Awards" in Chicago, nominated in Monte-Carlo TV Festival, and coproduced by Polish public television: TVP.
This format was presented by TVP during MIPTV in Cannes.
"Into
Deep Water” directed by Magdalena Lazarkiewicz, is a story of enthusiastic and idealist social
workers that face the toughest social problems of our society.
Wiktor Okulicki (Marcin Dorociński) |
The central character is Wiktor Okulicki
(Marcin Dorociński), a freshly nominated director of the center. He is a man
with a complicated past, that uses sometimes non - conventional
methods in his work.
A man of action, not
of words.
Each
episode focuses on a different social problem and on characters struggling for
help.
There are 13 episodes of 45 minutes each that were broadcast on
channel 2 of TVP.
”Into Deep Water” created a lot of buzz in Poland
and abroad. Thanks to this show, many discussions revolving social issues started
to rise and possible solutions that the society could offer arose.
The role of social worker seen as "a mix of Mother Theresa and Spiderman" came to the fore.
