Czech Inventions that Conquered the World

In the Czech Republic, throughout the history, there have been many patents and inventions that greatly influenced the social and economic development around the world. Our documentary series maps the most important inventions, as well as the less known ones. All, however, will surprise the audience by having their roots in our small country. Every invention entails a great story about the reason and initial difficulties of its existence but also about the people with great ideas who were willing to devote a large part of their lives to their inventions. They were armed with patience and faith, although often regarded as fools and renegades of society. Some inventions were created by accident, others led to years of disputes over the authorship. In the documentary, inventions and their stories will be organized in chronological order, as the time of their creation is important for the broader contexts and general development of the society. 3x52'
