Jayne Ann Tenggren was a producer on the Oscar-winning drama about World War I, 1917. Now he is facing the next world war with the epic Enemy of my enemy. The story “centers on one of the world’s greatest unsung heroes, Captain Witold Pilecki. During the Holocaust, the Polish cavalry officer volunteered to be arrested and taken to Auschwitz, where he formed a resistance group and leaked information revealing conditions inside the camp to the Allies. After his escape from Auschwitz in April 1943, Pilecki continued to fight for a free and independent Poland in the wake of Stalin’s communist takeover of the country.
Matthew King (Boomtown) wrote the screenplay based on the critically acclaimed book Okhotnik (The volunteer) by the Italian historian Marco Patricelli. Production will take place in Poland and Italy. Elizabeth Stillwell (Lizzie) is producing alongside Tenggren. They will be working with a local production team and have secured the cooperation of Pilecki’s family and conducted extensive research for the project.
Pilecki’s great-grandson Krzysztof Kosior said of the project:
“I was thrilled to read the script and to work with the filmmakers. I am grateful that this film was made and that a global audience knows my great grandfather’s story.”
Enemy of my enemy marks the largest film of its kind in Poland and pools public and private resources, signaling the country’s commitment to expanding Poland’s international co-productions.
It sounds like a fascinating story and a must-see movie. Stay tuned for more information as the project develops.
