Waves

Milwaukee Film Festival

Set in 1968, a pivotal moment in modern Czech history, this dynamic and suspenseful drama follows the international office at Czechoslovak Radio led by editor Milan Weiner, whose commitment to honest journalism and the truth puts the organization in the crosshairs of the secret police. Shortlisted for Best International Feature Film for the 97th Academy Awards®, WAVES is a gripping ode to press freedom and a timely reminder of the dangers of censorship.
