The Microphone Test
Poland1980documentary19'Jacek Petrycki Retrospective
An employee of the radio broadcasting system at a Warsaw cosmetics plant tries to include more serious contents in his everyday programme. He asks each employee one question: “Do you feel a co-owner of the plant?” To his surprise, he discovers that most people give a negative answer. When the recording goes to the management, it is harshly criticised. It turns out that there is an enormous chasm between what regular employees really think and the propaganda spread around.
