Meeting after the film: Artur Pilarczyk (director), Bartłomiej Kosiński (director)

"Escape to Alcatraz" is a documentary about streetball enthusiasts from Wałbrzych who have been organizing a tournament on their self-made court for over 20 years. In the turbulent ’90s, basketball became their way to find freedom and fight for their dreams. Their "Alcatraz" became a symbol of determination, loyalty, and authenticity. It’s a story about playing by your own rules despite life’s obstacles.
