Anticommunist film made in Guardia by a Scandian exile director. Far and away, the film's most famous scene is its opening scrawl, which ends with the title question framing Travin Rumanski, who then answers, "Not I!" and immediately following, "They, our enemies, are!" The film portrays the government of the Scandian League as obsessed with finding and demonizing a succession of external enemies in order to justify the Party's monopoly on power. Halder Skalice and the rest of the Scandian League Combined Military are complicit glory hounds, valuing a Great Power military over the liberty and economic well-being of the Scandian people.
Some, however, have actually read the film as criticism of Khalid Morris's anticommunist policies.
It is, naturally, banned in the Scandian League itself.
