Czech Peace | Vit Klusak, Filip Remunda
Czech Republic | 2010 | 100 min
The story of STAR WARS, the COLD WAR and the WAR ON TERROR in one small Czech village. CZECH PEACE – from the creators of the fake hypermarket comedy CZECH DREAM. As a part of its National Missile Defense Program, the US plans to build a military base in the Czech Republic, a former hiding place for Soviet nuclear rockets during the Cold War. Despite the fact that 73% of Czechs are against the project, the government has continued with negotiations. Supporters of the base claim that it will strengthen the country's defense against the global threats of the 21st century. Opponents, on the other hand, point out that the plan essentially shifts the Iron Curtain toward the east; they also insist that it represents an attempt by the USA to rule the world.
