Controversy
For the purposes of the film Tutajosok (1990) 14 sheep were spread with a flammable substance, and then to the order of Judit Elek were burned alive.[2] 69 scientists from the Jagiellonian University demanded that the authorities forbade Judit Elek entry to Poland. Scientists wrote among others: "No director knowing her own worth would debase herself for using so primitive and cruel methods".
