The first days of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia were closely tied to the Czechoslovak Radio building in front of which bloody clashes took place and at least 15 civilians were killed. The newly released film Waves, inspired by the true story of a group of journalists from the radio’s foreign service section, focuses on these traumatic events and the preceding Prague Spring period.
The story of the journalists working for the Czechoslovak Radio’s international editorial offices during the invasion and in the months leading up to the event is the focus of a newly released film called Waves, directed by Jiří Mádl and co-produced by Czech Radio.
