A very honest, emotionally loaded documentary
heicktopiertz22 December 2003
A very raw movie, very pure, very unique. This movie has been produced by the National Filmboard of Canada (NFB) and was known as the movie ''without credits''. The director's name was hidden from the KGB.

This documentary is like no documentaries I have seen before. The footages are emotionaly loaded, the viewer simply feel the incomprehension of the people from Prague. You see the city's transformation under the soviet occupation, you see the progression because in the editing job, the film is structured by days (7), all footage on Monday were actually shot on Monday.

This is a very honest documentary, not 100% objective, but you can see that these images were taken because they had to be taken and the truth had to be told about this situation.

This film prove that we still need today to produce documentaries and non-fictions, that we still need to learn from the past and finally that a documentary can touch you.
