Editorial Reviews:

Before he became president of the Czech Republic after the Velvet Revolution, Vaclav Havel–playwright, essayist, intellectual– was a leading dissident, repeatedly jailed by the communist government. This extraordinary documentary by novelist/screenwriter/filmmaker Jan Novak and Adam Novak recreates with irony a little-known episode in Havel’s life as a dissident: the decision to test the limits of the secret police by taking an extended "vacation" to visit his friends all over Czechoslovakia. The result is a riveting–and often humorous-journey into the soul of a brave individual who faces totalitarianism with an open heart.

Summary: Citizen Havel
Comment: In 1994 I spent ten days with my great uncle Karel Kraus who was a disident in Czechoslovakia and was jailed many times for his anti-Communist views. Watching this film brought me back to the conversations I had with Karel in that we don't know how precious freedom is in the United States as we take it for granted. Jan Novak does a great job of protraying what it was like under Communism through the eyes of Vaclav Havel and some of his associates.
