But Patryk is not like the other boys his age. He has been suffering from retinopathy of prematurity, which causes blindness. The boy does not want pity or admiration. He wants to be seen not as a blind pianist, but – just a pianist.

He decided to make a cautionary reportage. He did not expect the case to take the sensational track that it did. To reveal how the fraud works, the author decided on a journalist provocation.

  Łukasz Zwycięzca / Łukasz, the Champion

  Production:POL 2013

  Łukasz was born very ill. The doctors diagnosed him quickly, but so far there is no effective medicine for Crohn's disease. Nonetheless, the boy and his family have a great will to live, strength to fight, and love. Although it is unknown when, or if, Łukasz will recover, and often there is not enough money for the treatment, the Berezaks prove that one can fight the adversities with dignity, and enjoy each and every day. “Faith can move mountains,” as the protagonist of the reportage says, and instead of writing letters to Saint Nicholas, he writes letters to God. In those letters he talks about his life, himself, his dreams.
