About Bitva o Hedviku
In the early 1970s, the class struggle flared up in full force on the big screen - the hero of this film, set in the interwar period, is a staunch communist journalist who arrives in the Ostrava region during the economic crisis to instigate a strike. The impoverishment and hopelessness of the miners had exceeded all limits...
Directed by Julian Dziedzina, Bitva o Hedviku leans on a strong ensemble — Petr Svojtka, Ivan Vyskočil, Jaroslav Moučka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1972.
