It qualified to be considered for an Academy award as the winner of the E TudoVerdade/It’s All True International Documentary Film Festival in São Paolo, Brazil.

The half-hour film by Grzegorz Paprzycki has been produced by the Krzysztof Kieślowski Faculty of Film Directing at the Silesian University in Katowice, southern Poland.

Its ironic title refers to the exacerbation of radical sentiments in Poland over the last few years, showing, without any commentary, rallies, demonstrations, street riots as well as speeches by people from both the left and right of the political spectrum.

My country so beautiful has received awards at over a dozen festivals, including the Golden Hobby Horse at the International Film Festival in Kraków, Poland.
