Who was Tony Halik? A traveler, journalist, filmmaker. His life’s adventures seem as unlikely as those of Indiana Jones. In the last decade of the Cold War, extremely popular TV programs were the proverbial “only window on the world” for millions of Poles. Outside of Poland, practically unknown, in the 60’s and 80’s, he appeared in some strange way everywhere in the world where something important was happening. He knew everyone, filmed everyone, everyone wanted to talk to him: Fidel Castro, Queen Elizabeth, Evita Peron, Richard Nixon. Meet Tony Halik – the legend and liar.
