The Society of Brno Museologists warmly invites you to the Czech premiere of the Slovak documentary On the Edge.
In April 1944 two Slovaks, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, run from the hell of the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in occupied Poland. They brought important information about the massive industrial murdering. During their hard escape through the hostile territory, ordinary people selflessly helped them risking their own lives. Six friends revived the authentic story of the World War II - they run 170 km from Auschwitz to Žilina to commemorate the great act of Vrba and Wetzler.
In 2017 the film recieved the Audience and the Grand Prix award on the festival Horyzonty Trenčín. The entrance to the screening is for free. Discussion with the director Viliam Bendík and the film protagonists follow after the screening. The film is screened as a part of the project Reflection of The World War II Affairs in Contemporary Methods of Presentation with the financial support from the Faculty of Arts.
