The Man Who Would Be Polka King

A polka kingdom crumbles in this documentary tracing the rise and fall of dubious duple meter master Jan Lewan.

When scandal erupted and Lewan's shady dealings were revealed, fans couldn't believe that their hero had committed one of the largest polka-related financial crimes in history.
