Rene ( Helena Trestikova, 2008)

This raw authentic documentary film tells the story of René whose life was being captured on camera since he was seventeen. The camera followed his hopeless journey between prison and brief periods outside the prison walls. In 2008 the film comes to an end, leaving the now 37year old René as a sick man who still gets in trouble with the law and who is also the author of two published books. Director Helena Třeštíková records Renés personal developments against the backdrop of significant political transformations taking place in Central Europe.
