"Smog Wars"
media / Video
"I moved to Poland in 2010 at age 23, and during my first six years here I never heard a word about the smog and never considered the effect that it would have on my health or anyone around me. It simply was not an issue that anyone I knew discussed. But I became interested in the issue, like many people, during January 2017, when a huge wave of smog hit Warsaw and shrouded the city in pollution for 10 days".
Watch the documentary "Smog Wars" about Poland's smog problem and the country's efforts to tackle it. Read the director's comment here.
