In the Name of Security

Markéta Janků / Czech Republic / 2020 / World Premiere / 11 min.


synopsis

Does society behave any different in the times of crisis? How much are we willing to sacrifice for our own safety? Were we overwhelmed by fear or panic during the coronavirus crisis in the Czech Republic and Slovakia? And who did we blame for the outbreak? Through three stories, the film contemplates the narrow-mindedness of people masquerading as an effort to stay safe.
