Czech Beer War
Jan Látal / Czech Republic / 2014 / World Premiere / 67 min.
synopsis
As Czech beer brands are being sold off to foreign breweries, homebrewers are bubbling up behind Czech garage doors. This mosaic of the stories of golden brew lovers transforms into a metaphor for the search for Czech identity amidst the globalisation of everything. As a symbol of freedom and national self-determination, in Látal’s documentary beer experiences its renaissance.
