The Challenges and Conditions in Creating Socially Engaged Documentaries with Apolena Rychlíkova and Saša Uhlová: Borders of Europe (case study)

This case study of the film Borders of Europe will focus on the creative process from the perspective of director Apolena Rychlíková and journalist Saša Uhlová. The discussion will address how to promote complex and challenging topics, the difficulties that arose during production, and how these challenges influenced the final work, which was developed alongside a book of reports. We will also discuss institutional support for filmmakers, including legal, psychological, and other professional help, which is crucial for the creation of important societal works. The case study will offer practical insights into the challenges creators face when working on projects with significant societal impact.
