Waves
A broadcast that will change history.
Directed by Jiří Mádl
Produced by Dawson Productions, Česká televize
A tense historical drama about journalistic integrity and resistance during the Prague Spring, centered on two brothers caught between idealism and state oppression.
At the end of the 1960s, when the air is filled with rock-and-roll and student rebellions are changing the world, the older of two brothers joins a prestigious newsroom of the public radio broadcaster. Not long after, he finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conflict between journalists and the secret service.
