HDCS
Director:Adéla Komrzý
Length:69 minutes
Genre:Document

Czech Competition

Director: Adéla Komrzý

The fanatical Islamic State, terrorism, Russia's aggressive policies... The intensifying geopolitical situation has also brought new security concerns to the Czech Republic. After a long period of relative peace and tranquillity, the question of whether the country is able to resist aggression has once again become relevant. The military, the arms industry and splinter groups of former soldiers are making preparations. Today's generation of people in their 40s still remember their communist military training. Thanks to the Ministry of Defence's POKOS initiative, this subject is slowly returning to many schools in the form of demonstrations and lectures by professional soldiers. What do today's kids know about guns? Would they fight for their country? This FAMU student documentary examines how Czech society is preparing for war.
