POLDI made its Zabrze debut one day before its worldwide Netflix premiere and it could not have happened anywhere more fitting. On June 3rd, hundreds of Górnik Zabrze fans filled Dom Muzyki i Tańca for an exclusive pre-premiere screening of the documentary about Lukas Podolski, the man who ended his playing career at the club and today owns it. I was there to witness the moment and to capture it, adding another chapter to our coverage of Podolski’s Zabrze story on the portal.
