Václav Havel, Former President

For some merely a former president, for others still their president. The recently released documentary film Havel Speaking, Can You Hear Me? looks back at Václav Havel’s final years. Leaving office need not mean losing influence or going into seclusion. What was Václav Havel’s life like, how did he cope with an “ex-presidency” that surprised him by being something of a lifetime post, and how did he fill this time? This is what Jiří Kubík, investigative journalist and editor-in-chief of Seznam Zprávy, will ask long-time associates of Havel’s from his presidential and post-presidential periods: Jakub Hladík, Sabina Tančevová and Martin Vidlák.
