Wieliczka - The Salt of the Earth, with Jerzy Stuhr as the guide, produced and directed by Sadrolin Tam, and with a screenplay by Kevin Benn, offers a profound insight into the operation of the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The film meticulously explores the multitude of risks involved in the mine's operation—cave-ins, fires, and water intrusion—while also highlighting the technical and organizational measures implemented to combat these dangers.
By presenting these challenges and solutions, the film helps viewers gain a deeper understanding of the mine's function and the demanding work of the miners. This focus on the practical, "live" aspects of our past, particularly in terms of its economic dimensions, is a crucial and often overlooked aspect of historical documentation, making this film an invaluable resource.
