Peasant Common Sense
Selský rozum

Czech Republic / 2017 / 73 min
Documentary

The authors of this documentary had spent almost three years collecting material in the rural Bohemia, exploring the topics and issues that are vital for farmers and business people in this area: how and why subsidies work, why certain plants are grown more frequently than others, why the breeding of animals has diminished in recent years and how it affects the production of food. The results led the authors to shape the final cut of the film so that it focuses on the role of Andrej Babiš, one of the richest Czech businessmen and at the same time a very influential politician. The style and implications of his business and his political activities are becoming one of the most determinant factor for the Czech landscape, business environment, and soon it will likely affect the entire country
