Republic of Hope (Polish: Republika nadziei) is a 1988 Polish historical film created by Zbigniew Kuźmiński and written by Kuźmiński and Kazimierz Radowicz. Film is based on the miniseries The Republic of Ostrów (Polish: Republika Ostrowska) which premiered on TVP on June 4, 1986.
Set in 1918, the film revolves around two landed gentry families (Kroguleccy and Wodniczakowie) from Greater Poland whose lives intersect. At its core, it is the story of the secret society (The Tomasz Zan Society) which helped organizing a short-lived autonomous republic called the Republic of Ostrów. The film explores a wide variety of themes, including Greater Poland uprising (1918–19), Polish youth lives during the age of partitions, and a rapidly changing social and political climate.
Republic of Hope earned much critical acclaim and accolades including the 1986 Golden Screen Award. It was filmed between 1984 and 1985 in Gołuchów Castle and Schloss Gorkau among others, and released in 1988.
