Without Aniela Sidorska, Porcelain War would not exist. As the producer of the documentary (with her production company, Imaginary Lane), Sidorska guided this project from its genesis to premiere season—where it won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance. That’s film-speak for one of the highest possible honors in the industry.
