But before that happens, the recruits will have to confront their fear of being in tight spaces. Driven to the point of extreme fatigue, the participants will cross a swampy body of water, at the end of which is the entrance to a narrow concrete tunnel. Darkness, standing water, and omnipresent insects are just the beginning of the difficulties they will have to face. The real test will come later.
Based on the information gathered about the lack of mutual trust, the instructors will select pairs in such a way that they will include recruits who do not particularly like or trust each other. The recruits’ task will be to secure their partner on a rope while he falls helplessly from the chimney, from a terrifying height of 100 m! Previous animosities, fear of heights and heavy rain will not be conducive to success in this task. For which of the participants will it be too much?
In this episode, we will also get to know recruit no. 4 better, who told a fragment of his difficult story: I was often called names, ridiculed, and hurt for who I was. Telling my parents that I was homosexual was a difficult experience. They were not aware that it was an orientation, that everyone was born with it. My mother called me selfish, that I only thought about myself and that life would be very difficult for me. And that was all she said. Gay life in Poland is not easy. This has to be said out loud. Especially in small towns. I come from a small community in the Opole province (approx. 300-400 people). I heard various insults addressed to me there: gay, faggot, fag… it took perseverance to survive all this when the whole world tells you that you are abnormal. And you are normal, just different.
More today at 8:10 p.m. in the program “Special Forces Poland” on Polsat.
