The Little will screen Bogowie (Gods, Lukasz Palkowski, Poland 2014, 127 min.) as part of the 2015 Polish Film Festival.

Riveting, fast paced, compelling and filled with humor Gods is the story of the cardiac surgeon, Zbigniew Religa, who in 1984 performed the first successful heart transplant in Poland. The young doctor intended to apply the latest world improvements in transplantology, but was blocked by the restrictions ruling the People's Republic of Poland. Religa had to oppose his former mentors and fossilized bureaucratic and political structures, and to fight with the public superstitions, according to which the heart is seen as a relic, and not a "glorious pump." Gods is a great film about ambition and willpower, but also about the price one has to pay for success.
