Directing: Maxmilián Petřík

Synopsis

800 years have passed since the birth of Agnes of Bohemia. The documentary "Agnes of Bohemia" will present the personality of a royal daughter who decided to devote her life, possessions and all her efforts to help the poor and suffering people. The filmmakers use all available historical artefacts and references to reveal the youth as well as the mature age of a woman whose actions led to her becoming a saint. Where was the desire to commit to charity born, especially in an age of darkness, completely indisposed towards anything of that kind? Where did Agnes find inspiration and what formed her? Due to a prophecy, her canonization in 1989 was related to the Velvet Revolution. To what extent is her legacy still alive today?
