Synopsis
The story of STAR WARS, the COLD WAR and the WAR ON TERROR coming to a head in a small Czech village. From the makers of legendary CZECH DREAM, a hilarious documentary about the hoax hypermarket, comes CZECH PEACE, a new playfully explosive film about the mayor of a small Czech village and his attempts to foil the American plan to build its 762nd military base right on his doorstep. The players in this story are everyone from villagers to George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Barack Obama, peace activists and lobbyists representing American arms manufacturers. Can the mayor of Trokavec (population 80) take US on? CZECH PEACE shows the workings of geopolitics and the way they affect the little people. The personal clashes with the impersonal, the specific with the universal, and an individual with the so-called great history.
