Citizen Havel

2008 · 1 hr 59 mins

The documentary explores the presidency of Václav Havel, a poet who unexpectedly became president. The film, starting in 1992, captures Havel’s experiences after the breakup of Czechoslovakia, a significant defeat for him as he had campaigned for its continuation. Despite political opposition and accusations of responsibility for the breakup, Havel runs for president of the new Czech Republic. The film, a unique document, was Koutecký’s most important project, continued by Janek after Koutecký’s death in 2006.

Directors: Pavel Koutecký, Miroslav Janek

Cast: Václav Havel, Dagmar Havlová Veškrnová, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Miloš Zeman
