SCREENINGS
A manipulative documentary "ordered" by the then ruling establishment, which was directed against non-conformist artists of the so-called second culture. It focused mainly on The Plastic People Of The Universe band and Ivan Jirous. Rather than hatred against rebels who did not conform to communist rhetoric, the documentary sparked interest in the creation of banned bands.
DIRECTED BY Ladislav Chocholoušek
