Czech Allah

Although the wave of migration may have brought only a few dozen refugees into the Czech Republic, a substantial part of the population has been plunged into a state of panic about migrants and Islam. For two years film maker Zuzana Piussi monitored the response of Czech society. The result is a time-lapse film, a collection of human figures and characters connected by a single issue: profound interest in the topic of refugees and Islam. Each confronts the topic equipped with their own truth. So we follow not only old friends like Martin Konvička and Jana Volfová, but also people who have decided to welcome refugees, regardless of the consequences. Each of them eventually gains new life experiences within this turbulent social situation. (Jeden svet)
