Země snů

A quality, necessary, and I dare say, engaged documentary - one of the kind we could use more of in the Czech Republic. It's a film about a pressing issue that seeks to highlight the problems of people in need, regardless of whether they are "one of us." The director managed to obtain quite bold testimonies from Vietnamese guest workers who are being exploited by intermediaries and employers in the country. Unfortunately, many people have profited from this business. We know this happens in other countries too, and it's no different here. It would have been nice if the film included the opinions of Czech politicians and Vietnamese officials. Overall impression: 90%. (05/21/2009)
