Czech Greens

This documentary sets out to uncover the inner developments of a political party as well as the director's own political activism. It also discusses a number of other issues: Why do people distrust politicians? What does it take to become a politician? What are political intrigues? What makes today's democracy so puzzling? In 2002, I joined a group of people who decided to revive the Green Party. Following my work with an environmental organization, I was able to watch the worlds of civic initiatives and political parties drift apart. I decided to use the opportunity to capture the reinvention of several individuals and the party itself and, for several years, to record all crucial developments relevant for the party. Despite often facing fickle attitudes, paranoia and red tape, I have managed to collect footage that should make for a compelling political film.
