A film invested by Netflix, it tells the story of an incredible person and a piece of history: Milada Horáková, born in Prague during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. At 17, during World War I, she was expelled from school for participating in an anti-war march. She then dedicated herself to women's rights and child welfare. In 1940, she was arrested by the Gestapo for her involvement in an underground resistance organization and imprisoned in a concentration camp in Germany. The German authorities sought a death sentence from a German court, but ultimately she was sentenced to eight years. After World War II ended in 1945, she returned to Prague. In 1946, she ran for election as a member of parliament, continuing to focus on women's rights. After the Communist coup in 1948, she resigned in protest and publicly criticized the undemocratic nature of the Communist Party. In 1949, she was arrested and in 1950 was executed on charges of being an "enemy of the state and the people." Under the arrangement of the Soviet Union, her trial, along with that of twelve others, was broadcast live, resulting in four being sentenced to death. Milada was exonerated after 1989, a street in Prague was named after her, and the day she was executed was designated as a memorial day for victims of totalitarian regimes in the Czech Republic. Milada's last words were: "I hold my head high, even if it may fall. People will fall in battle, but if you do not fight, is that really living?
