Filmi Kotka

A triangular drama set in the factory region and wilderness of Lapland.

Directed by Kalle Kaarna and produced by Oy. Filmi Kotka, the documentary is a strongly charged propaganda film. It begins in the open fields of smoke "by the bleached bones of fallen clubmen" and presents the birthplaces of the Lapua movement with their monuments and key figures. The climax is the main celebration held in Helsinki's Senate Square on July 7, 1930, where the strongman of the Lapua movement, Vihtori Kosola, gives his speech.
