1945 - Danemark - Noir & Blanc - 9'
Officially, Kornet er i fare is a propaganda film on the importance of fighting parasites. It shows how weevils can destroy a crop and cause Denmark great loss of revenue. Unofficially, this is a film on the struggle for the country’s freedom and it is not difficult to drow a parallel between the damage caused by the insects and by the German troops. Informative and instructive, this film is also especially entertaining.
