A homosexual man wanting to adopt his niece faces difficulties in Poland

Trouw22 September · 22:001 day ago

HBO Max produced the Polish-language series Proud, which depicts Filip Raczyński's struggle to adopt his niece Tosia following his sister's death. The show has sparked controversy in conservative Poland, with some viewing it as Western political interference, while others praise its humor and acting. The narrative highlights societal resistance to same-sex adoption, contrasting with recent moves in Hungary to allow such adoptions. Critics argue the public broadcaster would not produce such content, yet the series features acclaimed actress Maja Ostaszewska and explores themes of responsibility and family bonds amidst bureaucratic and social hurdles.
