Polibek Alexandra Dubčeka

A rather shallow, one-dimensional documentary lacking perspective and greater ideological diversity. The creators should have incorporated testimonies not only from Dubček's friends but also from opponents, whether from the ranks of Stalinists or anti-communist opposition. Additionally, it would have been appropriate to include the views of professional historians and political scientists. A true picture of such a controversial figure can only emerge from assembling multiple pieces of varying colors. Overall impression: 25%. (12/08/2007)
