Moments of Hope

In 2019, almost three hundred thousand people gathered at Prague's Letná. They demonstrated against the prime minister, the president, but above all for democracy. Two students who feared for the future of the Czech Republic spoke to them from the stage. A unique film about Mikuláš Minář and Benjamin Roll reveals the gripping story of the founders of the Million Moments for Democracy movement. Director Amálie Kovářová spent six years filming behind the scenes of the association that was behind the biggest protest since the Velvet Revolution. It went through successes and falls, enthusiasm and lethargy, being exalted to the heavens and disappointing supporters. And Mik and Ben experienced all of this from the beginning. Guys who believed that even in difficult times, hope can prevail.
