Documentary: Magic Voice of a Rebel

September 24, 2019, 6:00 PM

The Embassy of the Czech Republic will screen veteran filmmaker Olga Sommerova's documentary Magic Voice of a Rebel (Magický hlas rebelky) on September 24, at 6 pm. The brilliant career of Marta Kubišová, a talented singer and three-time winner of the Golden Nightingale music award, ended with the occupation of Czechoslovakia. In 1977, Kubišová signed Charter 77 and also became its spokesperson, making her a target of the secret police. After twenty years of enforced silence, however, she was able to stage a spectacular comeback during the Velvet Revolution. View key episodes from the private, professional and dissident chapters of Marta Kubišová’s life through archival footage and interviews with friends, such as Dana Němcová, Pavel Kohout and Jaroslav Hutka. (Dir. Olga Sommerová, 2014, 85 min., Czech with English subtitles)
