Synopsis

A film montage piece depicting the historical events of the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic and twenty years of making it a free country.

Note

The film was intended to celebrate 20th anniversary of the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic. After the Munich events of the autumn 1938 it remained unfinished. From the filmed material Jiří Weiss edited a documentary called Naše země (1938). The rest of the film material took Weiss with him to exile to London in 1938.
