About this series:
This series symbolically linked on to some of the formerly released parts of the bi-monthly, EYE, which was well received by our neighbours to the east.
Thus for example, the program witnessed the successful return of V. Mečiar to the highest level of politics and was testimony to the role ascribed by many Slovaks to belief and miracles.
Despite the fact that Slovaks make up the largest minority in the Czech Republic and always have, such specific attention was only paid to them by this series. This also became a work opportunity for Slovak producers at a time when the opportunities for independent documentary creation in Slovakia were few and far between.
