All My Loved Ones


All My Loved Ones Czech Vichni moji blzc is a 1999 Czechlanguage film directed by Matej Min. It was an international coproduction between Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It was Slovakias official Best Foreign Language Film submission at the 72nd Academy Awards, but did not manage to receive a nomination.

Min got the idea for a film about what preceded the war from the perspective of a child from stories recounted by his mother. For further inspiration, he visited Pragues Jewish Museum and read Vera Gissings Pearls of My Childhood, which briefly mentioned Nicholas Winton rescuing hundreds of children before the war. From this Min wrote a treatment. When he asked Alice Klimova to translate the treatment into English, she informed him that she was one of the rescued children and that Winton was still alive. After meeting him, Min became determined to not only make his original film idea, but also to make the documentary The Power of Good Nicholas Winton.
