Product Description:
A fascinating movie that was shot in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, Alfred Radok's DISTANT JOURNEY was a bold feature film that tackled the holocaust in a time when people were still shocked and appalled at the Nazi's activities. Radok's film was swiftly banned by authorities who struggled to find any worth in his work. The plot followed a family in Prague as they succumb to the Nazi threat and attempt to stay alive. Brutally shot, the documentary-like feel of the film lends an air of painful reality to DISTANT JOURNEY, making it unbearably poignant in places. A hugely moving piece, Radok's film finally takes its rightful place in cinematic history with this release, which is sure to please cinema scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Second World War.
