Pump up the Oompah! THE MAN WHO WOULD BE POLKA KING is an irreverent look at the rise and fall of Grammy-nominated polka music superstar Jan Lewan, whose defection from Poland to Pennsylvania led to fame, fortune and an international Polka Empire. But when Lewan's empire collapsed under a cloud of scandal, the polka world was stunned to learn of the greatest polka-related financial crime in history.

Hello Polka King Fans…
We had a great sneak preview screening at the Boston Underground Film Festival in March, showing where we were at with the film. Post-screening, there was much debate in the audience about how much Jan Lewan knew about the dealings of his Polka Empire. What did he know and when did he know it?
In the coming days check back to our site as we will be announcing the details of our exciting World Premiere!
