The film was made under the terms of the partition agreement and with the participation of Władysław Reymont. However, numerous cuts and alterations detracted from the film's educational intent. Only Mieczysław Frenkel, who made his screen debut with this film, received praise. The film has not survived to this day, all copies burned during World War II.
