A personal journey across four continents to see some of the world's great National Parks.
A pocket-sized mountain range rising dramatically to 8,000 feet forms Czechoslovakia's frontier with Poland. With no sea coast, no major lake, and little prospect of holidays abroad, the people of this land-locked country look on the High Tatras as their national retreat. The new communist government declared the mountains a National Park in 1948. Today they are even more beautiful and free and wild - holding now an even more important place in the hearts of Slovaks and Czechs for whom the Tatras mean so much.

The last of three films by the famous German director - Georg W. Pabst
Starring Fritz Hampers, Alexander Granach, Ernst Busch, Elisabeth Wendt
Pabst's passionate plea for an international peace founded on working-class solidarity, although set after the Versailles Treaty, was based on an actual mining disaster which occurred at the beginning of the century near the French-German border. On that occasion (as in the film) the German miners went to the aid of their French colleagues.
