★MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE★

To celebrate the 230th Anniversary of the Polish Constitution of 1791, I am releasing a special music video dedicated to the great Polish silent movie actress Pola Negri. Video directed by Pola Negri’s great nephew ARCHON at Old Garden in Poland. 

Watch the video premiere hereon 3rd May 2021 at 8pm UK time https://youtu.be/vzsjn35ePb0★THANK YOU★ 
ARCHON
Thank you so much to the Polish Film Director Archon for creating this video with me. I am delighted to have created it with Pola Negri’s own blood as Archon is the great nephew ofPola Negri. This video is dedicated to the admiration that the English actor Charlie Chaplin ‘King of Comedy’ had for Polish actress Pola Negri ‘Queen of Tragedy’.
Charlie Chaplin in writing about the Polish actress and his fiance Pola Negri described her ‘one of the most beautiful thing’ he had seen in Europe. Born Barbara Apolonia Chalupiec (1897-1987), she was the European film star to be invited to Hollywood and become the most popular actress in American Silent Film history.
230TH POLISH CONSTITUTIONI’m releasing this video on 3rdMay 2021 which marks the 230th Anniversary (1791-2021) of the Polish Constitution (the 1st in Europe, 2nd after the US Constitution). Inspired by the political thought, philosophy of the European Enlightenment and the American Constitution adopted in 1787, Poland believed that power should serve the good of the whole nation, not just the interests of the elite and privileged classes and celebrate freedom for all. It was a unique pledge of honour to the people of Poland and the ultimate envy of her aggressive neighbours. Short-lived and tragically in 1795, the goodwill of the Polish Constitution came to an end as Poland wasenslaved by her three aggressors, Austria, Germany (then Prussia) and Russia and split Poland into three partitions, leading to the eradication of this rich nation on the map of Europe until 1918 when Poland was once again reinstated as an independent nation. Every Pole knows the value of The Polish Constitution and Pola Negri would have known how aggressive the loss of her nation meant to her family – her own father was enslaved in Siberia by Russia.
