Czech Peace

2010 · 100 min

A wry, human-scale look at ordinary people tangling with distant power, equal parts funny and quietly stirring.

Directed by: Vít Klusák, Filip Remunda
Genres: Documentary

Tagline: From the makers of legendary CZECH DREAM, comes the big story of STAR WARS, the COLD WAR and the WAR ON TERROR all coming to a head in a small Czech village.
Overview: From the makers of legendary CZECH DREAM, a hilarious documentary about a hoax hypermarket, comes CZECH PEACE, a new playfully explosive flm about the mayor of a small Czech village and his attempts to foil the American plan to build its 762nd military base right on his doorstep. The players in this story are everyone from villagers to George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama, peace activists and lobbyists representing American arms manufacturers. Can the Mayor of Trokavec (population 80) take the US on? CZECH PEACE shows the workings of geopolitics and the way they affect the little people. The personal clashes with the impersonal, the specifc with the universal, and an individual with the so-called great history.
