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. For over 30 years, the showman wowed polka fans the world over, headlining massive concerts and hobnobbing with powerful A-listers like Donald Trump, George HW Bush and even Pope John Paul II. But when the King was hit with a scandal and a subsequent personal tragedy, his empire collapsed... and the polka world was stunned to learn of the greatest polka-related financial crime in history.
