Czech Century

Czech Century (Czech: České století, is a Czech historical television series. It deals with the background of important historical events in Czech history since World War I to the Dissolution of Czechoslovakia. According to the creators, it is not a pure documentary series, but rather a film series "exposing the taboo of key events of our modern history". In particular, the series studies the psychology and mental motivations of individual actors of historical events in the moments when these personalities "had a knife to their throats" and were aware that their decision would affect not only their loved ones, but the entire nation for many years to come. The authors deliberately do not evaluate whether the persons in question behaved right or wrong from a historical point of view.

"Legendary characters are just people who sweat, speculate, live paradoxes, go to the toilet and talk about banalities, themselves confused about where history has taken them, and follow the only possible principle, which is the 'moral law within me', however they end up acting badly and selfishly." — series creators.[1]
