Daniel Kroupa, Monika MacDonagh-Pajerová, Jolyon Naegele and Jan Sokol return to the events of the Velvet Revolution in interviews with Olga Sommerová and Petr Placák. These are not only the memories of direct participants, but mainly reflections on our recent history and the values that have shaped and are shaping us. In interviews and a rich photographic accompaniment, we follow the road to November, the dramatic events of late 1989, and also reflect on what change has brought us and what kind of world we are creating together. The personalities, who represent different generations, professions and opinions, present a multifaceted view of our lived history and the responsibility we have towards them and future generations.
