HAVEL SPEAKING, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

President, citizen, director, friend, husband, patient, a man in the twilight of his life... Peter Jančárek’s unique documentary, Havel Here, Do You Hear Me?, brings Václav Havel back into the spotlight—revealing both his well-known facets and sides of him that had previously remained hidden from the public eye. The film draws upon never-before-published footage captured during the final years of his life. It arrives in cinemas at a time when Havel’s intellectual legacy—and his emphasis on individual freedom within society—resonate more strongly than ever. Václav Havel speaks to us once again. And we, in turn, need to hear him once again.
