A great patriotic trip
At the beginning, a challenge was published: Do you think the war in Ukraine is a fraud? That the media is lying about the death toll and the impacts of the “special military operation in Ukraine”? Come to the audition and become the heroes of the new film. The film crew finally set off to the center of the war conflict in October 2024 with three “heroes” – Putin supporters, to see for themselves what the war in Ukraine looks like with their own eyes. Do you want to see the reactions of doubters when missiles fly overhead, they hide in shelters, walk among mass graves, talk to children in an underground school in the subway, with wounded soldiers or suffering survivors? Come with us on a “great patriotic trip”. Documentary road movie about the journey from the currently safe Czech Republic to war-torn Kharkov and on to Donbas. The war in Ukraine without censorship.

/ Milan Kundera /
"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting."
"Milan Kundera was a Czech-born French novelist. Kundera went into exile in France in 1975, acquiring citizenship in 1981. His Czechoslovak citizenship was revoked in 1979 but he was re-granted Czech citizenship in 2019. Kundera's best-known work is The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Prior to the Velvet Revolution of 1989, the communist regime in Czechoslovakia banned his books. He led a low-profile life and rarely spoke to the media. He was thought to be a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was also a nominee for other awards. Kundera was awarded the 1985 Jerusalem Prize, in 1987 the Austrian State Prize for European Literature, and the 2000 Herder Prize. In 2021, he received the Golden Order of Merit from the president of Slovenia.
