The Power of The Powerless

Narrated by Jeremy Irons, The Power of the Powerless examines the struggle for freedom during the communist era in Czechoslovakia. Featuring Vaclav Havel, who ascended to power during the bloodless revolution of 1989, The Power of the Powerless investigates haunting questions about the communist past, which still linger today.

I wish you could try living in communist Czechoslovakia like me, my parents and my grandparents... We had to suffer to prove that the communist ideas are evil and will always turn against the people. If you still believe them and call us idiots for fighting for our freedom, the idiot is you.

I am a foreigner.How can I talk about it?But if I were Czech ,I would fight with Russian control about the expression of freedom with pen until I die. Some Czech authors of those days had done the same thing.Therefore the Velvet revolution is valuable and important for me and absolutely support it.I still believe and respect the powerless power by pen.

Therefore I got a scholarship and have studied language and literature in Charles University in Prague.

For Bohumil Hrabal and Milan Kudera.
