Where to Watch Waves
- Kevin Ward1 juli 2025Really well made film, across the board, about radio journalists that risk their lives to distribute independent reporting amidst the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops. We follow Tomáš, a communications technician, who catches a break and lands a job working for the editorial office in Czechoslovak Radio. But state security begin to leverage Tomáš because of the activities of his activist younger brother, Pavel, which puts Tomáš in a precarious position. Again, really well made film with a compelling and interesting story. I don’t feel like the romance was needed, but it also didn’t detract from the narrative too much. Worth checking out.
