Catalogue of Czech Television Programmes
A dramatic story set in present days, something of a political thriller.In a perfectly prepared operation an Environment Protection group kidnaps a Prague city bus with five passengers and a driver. They send a statement to the media that they would be holding the hostages until the Cabinet and House of Commons meet their demand concerning a change in the currently discussed Amendment on the Environment. Developments last for two drama-laden days. However, basic questions make their way into the foreground: Is it possible to enforce a generally beneficial demand through terrorist means? And is it possible to give in to pressure to save human lives?
