T. G. Masaryk – Overrated or Underrated?

Film evening with a guest.

Do we idealise the “president liberator” as a national idol? Or do we, by contrast, overlook him and fail to devote due attention to his legacy?

A documentary with fictional elements from Věra Chytilová and unique period footage from the National Film Archive will help shine a light on the personality of T.G.M.

Associate Professor Michal Stehlík, the deputy director of the National Museum and creator of the exhibition The Masaryk Phenomenon, will speak. Czech Radio journalist Magdaléna Trusinová will chair the first of three evenings on the theme of “Famous Evangelists: Masaryk, Horáková, Palach” taking place in connection with the centenary of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren.
