Ivan, Go Home

During the occupation on August 21st, 1968, some 20 divisions of the Soviet army entered the Czechoslovak territory. Others were ready at the border and were to arrive later. They were three Polish divisions, a Hungarian one and two Bulgarian regiments. The Ostrava TV studio is preparing a great social documentary by director Marcel Petrov, dramaturgist Josef Albrecht and subject author and script writer Luděk Navara. The axis of the documentary is defined by two underlying stories. One of them is the life story of Karel Petržílka from the Milovice military base who ended up in prison and later on the edge of the society for singing the song Ivan, Go Home. The other story is that of Martin Krejza who had to deal with Soviet occupation in the town of Vysoké Mýto and later became its mayor.
