SYNOPSIS In the heart of Europe lies a silent epidemic, where dreams are dashed, and aspirations crushed behind closed office doors. "Career Censored: Poland's Silent Racism" takes viewers on a gripping journey through the untold stories of over 100 foreign white-collar workers navigating the treacherous terrain of Poland's job market.

With firsthand accounts, including the filmmaker's own personal experiences, this documentary exposes the harsh realities faced by skilled professionals who are systematically sidelined due to their ethnicity, nationality, or background. From unjust hiring practices to subtle discrimination in the workplace, the film shines a spotlight on the insidious nature of racism that lurks beneath the surface of Poland's seemingly progressive society.

But this isn't just a tale of injustice; it's a rallying cry for change. Through candid interviews and expert analysis, "Career Censored" delves deep into the legal and ethical implications of Poland's discriminatory practices, drawing on the principles of EU human rights and universal equality. As the voices of the oppressed echo across the screen, viewers are compelled to confront their own biases and join the fight for a more inclusive and equitable society.

We uncover the truth behind HR and recruitment practices, exposing the complicity of corporations and institutions in perpetuating ''hidden systemic racism'' and ''hidden unequal treatment policies''. Film aims to challenge the ''status quo'' and advocate for a fairer future for all.
