Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A story of political corruption, kidnapping and organized crime, an HBO Europe documentary The Lust for Power chronicles the incredible rise of Vladimir Meciar, Slovakia's first prime minister following its return to democracy after 40 years of totalitarian communist rule. Director Tereza Nvotova creates a hauntingly personal take on a society in crisis, using old home videos of herself and friends as children, playacting and imitating Meciar's ruthless use of propaganda and intimidation to achieve and maintain power.
