It's THEM

Jindřich Ferenc / Czechoslovakia / 1952 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 12 min.

synopsis

The punishing fist of justice came down hard on the dark fingers of a gang of food stamp forgers who listened to the plague-ridden rhetoric of Wall Street banks and wanted to save their decaying capitalist world through contagion and war. The propagandistic montage of the trial fights for the idea of a better and happier socialist world, for which people were executed.
