Distant Journey (Daleka cesta) (NR)

synopsis

One of the first films to confront the horrors of the Holocaustremains one of the most powerful. Suffused with the visceral dread ofa waking nightmare, Distant Journey draws from director and Holocaustsurvivor Alfréd Radok's own experiences to tell the story of a Czechoslovak Jewish family whose lives are torn apart bythe terrors of the Nazi occupation, leading them inexorably to a grimfight for survival in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
