The process of the twenty thousand
The Trial of the Twenty Thousand is a Swiss feature film made in 1954 under the direction of Kurt Früh . It deals with the fate of the Swiss abroad , who were damaged by the Second World War but not compensated by the Confederation for many years.
The film was conceived as propaganda for the referendum against the federal decree on extraordinary aid to the war-damaged Swiss abroad . It was produced by Praesens-Film and largely supported by Gottlieb Duttweiler , the Federation of Migros Cooperatives , which he founded, and his party, the Landesring der Independees . The actors include Sigfrit Steiner , Erwin Kohlund , Josy Holsten, Karl Meier, René Bucher and the consul Dr. Max A. Kunz .
