Czech Peace
Filip Remunda, Vít Klusák / Czech Republic / 2010 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 89 min.
synopsis
At the end of the first decade of the Czech Republic, a great argument broke out concerning the planned American radar base in Brdy. The government hired a lobbyist to explain to ordinary people why we needed this facility in our country and how we would benefit from it. The inhabitants of the neighbouring villages rebelled against the plan and, according to published surveys, most Czech citizens were not enthusiastic about the idea either. This documentary tragicomedy presents a picture of our public debate 20 years after the Velvet Revolution. The clash of two opposing positions remains a sign of a functioning democracy and free society.“Film should contribute to harmony and not overwhelm the world with a sense of powerlessness. Film shouldn’t make anyone feel sick.”
