We Settle the Borderlands

Ivan Frič / Czechoslovakia / 1946 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 10 min.

synopsis

The housing crisis and the expulsion of Germans – key issues in post-war Czechoslovakia – come together in this propaganda film, which combines documentary footage with humorous scenes. The film was intended to dispel the idea of the borderlands as the Wild West, and encourage those waiting for housing to settle in these areas. Like the hero of the film, they were to contact the Settlement Office in Prague.
