A broadcast that will change history. A gripping and never-before-published stories of the journalists of Czechoslovak Radio.
Tomas, a young technician caring for his rebellious younger brother, joins the international newsroom of Czechoslovak Radio, unaware the Secret Service is watching every move. As political tension escalates and Soviet tanks surround the radio building, Tomas faces a choice: stand with the defiant journalists or save his brother. Inspired by the untold true story of journalists who risked everything to deliver independent news and keep their broadcasts alive during the 1968 Soviet invasion, this gripping political thriller blends dynamic cinematography, compelling performances, and a masterful mix of archival footage and fiction to capture the intense drama and courage of those fighting for free speech in a city under siege.Jiřà Mádl, Czech Republic, Slovakia 2024, 126’ Cast: Vojtěch Vodochodský, Tatiana Pauhofová, Stanislav Majer, Vojtěch Kotek, Martin Hoffmann
