My Homeland

About This Movie

My Homeland is a 1976 documentary directed by Robert Vas. This film offers a personal portrait of Hungary, reflecting on the impact of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising through the lens of exile. It features notable performances from Michael Bryant and Judi Dench.

My Homeland has seen limited releases over the years, making its availability somewhat rare for collectors. It was initially distributed in a few film festivals but has become more of a niche interest since then. As with many documentaries from this era, it doesn’t always pop up on the usual formats, so finding a quality print or digital copy can be a bit of a hunt. There’s definitely a growing interest among collectors who appreciate the historical and personal context it provides.
