New York City and produced by the Documentary Section of the Czechoslovak Film Corporation, “This Unknown Far Away Country” is a black-and-white narrative film dating to the late 1940s that takes the viewer on a tour of the Czech Republic. The film emphasizes Czech architecture, industry, and nature as well as the lasting legacy of Nazi destruction. The film has a propagandized element that emphasizes Czech affinities to the Western world, which offers greater insights into the time as from 1948 to 1984 the country would come under a Communist government.
