Eternal Smile of Dana Němcová (2022)

The life story of an unassuming modest yet extremely principled woman is also a dramatic portrait of a time when criticism of the regime and defense of the unjustly prosecuted was punished by imprisonment and constant surveillance from the secret state security The story also reflects the turning point after the Velvet Revolution when Dana Němcová briefly entered politics as an active member of the Federal Assembly or when in response to the war in the former Yugoslavia she founded a counselling center for refugees and refugee women in the Czech Republic In the film she also meets some of those she helped again after many years
