Mittags auf dem Roten Platz(1978)

Mittags auf dem Roten Platz is a documentary that examines one of the Cold War's most overlooked acts of resistance. When Warsaw Pact forces invaded Czechoslovakia in August 1968 to crush Alexander Dubcek's liberal reforms, the world watched in protest. Few knew that a small group of Soviet citizens had staged their own demonstration in Moscow against their government's invasion. The film reconstructs the trial that followed, giving voice to these Russian dissidents whose courage was eclipsed by the larger geopolitical drama. Through archival material and historical testimony, it reveals an extraordinary moment of individual conscience against state power during the height of Soviet authoritarianism.
