On January 31, Duna Television will debut a new film focusing on the immediate antecedents and consequences of the signing of the Trianon Peace Edict, Peace - above nations. In addition to expert statements, the creators illustrated the work of the Hungarian delegation with feature film elements.
The new feature-length documentary Peace - Above Nations presents the struggle of the Hungarian peace delegation to conclude a proportionate and fair treaty, while, with the help of Hungarian and French historians, it explores the domestic and foreign political reasons and circumstances of the time that led to the most catastrophic loss in Hungary's thousand-year history.
Béla Award-winning producer Dorottya Balázs Helmeczy said about the film produced by Megafilm: not only did they consult with domestic but also foreign research institutes, they requested archival materials, as the bilateral agreements of other European states had an impact on the demarcation of Hungary's borders.
Megafilm's work seeks answers to, among other questions, what happened to the Hungarian delegation that arrived in France after January 7, 1920. Who and what image of the Hungarians they painted before the public opinion of the time in order to make the idea of dividing Hungary convincing, and how they got to the point where the parties signed the treaty on June 4, 1920 at 4:32 p.m. in the Great Hall of Versailles - In Trianon Castle.
