About the project

The idea to shoot a documentary series introducing the public to the localities and institutions associated with the liberation in the Pilsen region, as well as the activities of living history clubs, which are indispensable partners of the Liberation Festival Pilsen, arose during a complicated period of lockdowns and serious epidemiological measures in connection with covid-19. The general public is given the opportunity to get acquainted with localities in an attractive popular educational form, which they can freely visit during their journeys throughout the Pilsen region, or even with remembrance institutions dedicated to the period of World War II.

The project was prepared as part of the Liberation Festival Pilsen by the city of Pilsen with the support of the Pilsen Region. The guide is Lukáš Langmajer.

It was said from the very beginning that I would be the guide of the miniseries. And so, it happened. I'm happy about it and I believe that after watching it, you will also be contended, because in some moments you can even get smart or you will find inspiration to visit one of the places to explore it in more details.
