- catalog abstract "On Aug. 20, 1968, 200,000 Soviet bloc troops invaded Czechoslovakia, turning Prague and Bratislava into armed camps overnight. Resistance broke out everywhere, as youth and workers spilled into the streets, confronting Soviet soldiers and tanks. These chaotic scenes were captured by Czechoslovak cameramen, shooting undercover and on the run. Their raw footage was carefully smuggled out of the country and then assembled in Paris. The result was a sensational piece of cinema verité, yet during the early 1970s, all copies of the film inexplicably disappeared. It was feared lost until 1987, when a Philadelphia antiques salvager stumbled onto an unmarked copy at a neighborhood junk mart. Since then, the film has been regarded as an indispensable record of one of the Cold War's defining episodes, without equal in its depiction of the brute force (and frequent incomprehension) of the Soviet occupiers, as well as the stunned fury and courage of the Chech people. Narration text consists of actual broadcasts of Czech radio during the time of the filmed events. After the seizure of the Radio Building, the clandestine stations carried on through the days that followed.".
