About Oratorio for Prague
A unique document of the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, what began as a documentary about the liberalization of Czechoslovakia evolved into a record of the entry of Russian tanks into Prague.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1968.
