Content:
"Vaterland", eine "patriotische Beschreibung der Entwicklung Amerikas zu einem Land der Freiheit", basiert auf dem Bericht eines Senatsausschusses und appelliert an das Volk der USA, sich gegen Unterdrückung und Terror zu behaupten. In einem auf Spannung und emotionale Reaktion ausgerichteten Stil hervorragend inszeniert; eine suggestive Einheit aus Fiktion und Wirklichkeit mit teilweise dokumentarischem Bildmaterial. (Lexikon des internationalen Films)
Content:
The epitome of Frontier Films' style, which successfully combined fictional scenes with documentary information, NATIVE LAND focuses on the fascist forces existing within the U.S. democratic structure. Based on the U.S. Senate's LaFollette Committee findings concerning union busting and the tactics of massive corporate labor spying, it is a significant pro-labor statement which begins by declaring, "The American people have had to fight for their freedom in every generation." With forceful and moving commentary spoken by Paul Robeson, it reveals the web of conspiracy that comprised the anti-labor movement, emphasizing the public's ignorance of these events. It remains one of the finest examples of the radical social documentary. (Anthology Film Archives)
