Sleepless Nights (2006)

ČT crisis

  • Genre: Documentary
  • Country: Czechia
  • Runtime: 108 min
  • Released: 2006-04-03
  • TMDB rating: 8.0 / 10 (1)

At the end of 2000, Czech Television was going through a turbulent period. The film captures key moments of the so-called "Czech Television crisis". It focuses particularly on thirteen days, beginning on Christmas Eve, during which the then official program director decided to broadcast her own news programs. The main themes are portraits of the individual actors involved. The resulting film is therefore not only a documentary capturing a certain historical period, but above all a broader study of human behavior in an extreme situation.
