Where the World Meets
Maailmat kohtaavat: XV Olympiakisat Helsingissä 1952 (original)
Part one of Director Hannu Leminen's account of the Olympic Games Helsinki 1952, with its fierce patriotism and its sense of a nation welcoming the world, is redolent of the period, coming as it did only twelve years after the end of Finland's war with the Soviet Union, and seven years after the end of World War II. WHERE THE WORLD MEETS focuses on the opening ceremony and track & field events.
Starring Carl-Erik Creutz, Reino Hirviseppä, Usko Santavuori
