Our lecturer prof. Dagmara Drzazga received the Maciej Łukasiewicz Award for publications on contemporary civilization and culture and popularization of knowledge for the film "Pokolenia" (2020) awarded during the 28th edition of the competition for the Awards of the Association of Polish Journalists. The Awards are granted for the best works published in 2020 in the Polish press, radio, television and the Internet.

Below is the justification of the jury:

We take part in a sentimental journey to Panna Maria - the oldest Polish settlement in Texas. The history of the ancestors of the inhabitants - settlers from Silesia – emerges from the conversations. We also see the contemporary generations of Texans in Poland, during a pilgrimage to Piekary Śląskie. An extremely colorful documentary, made with great class and artistry, excellent in terms of workshop.

The award ceremony of the Association of Polish Journalists took place at the Journalist's House - the headquarters of APJ in Warsaw on Thursday, June 17, 2021.
