a movie on the communist regime in Czech republic in the 70-ties

I came with almost no expectations to the cinema to watch this movie, but walked out with a look to any dictatorship slightly changed, and mostly enriched. Anyone who'd grown in a communist country could identify himself with this story..especially the generation of people who grew up in the midst of big, World wide changes.The movie made as a documentary, precisely, as a document of time..with the current Czech president Havel, as one of the most important people in the young intellectual force, back in the 70. I'd recommend this movie strictly for it's social engagement and the message that carries for the young people.
