The story

What Is Pravda About?

The premise of Pravda without spoilers.

Shot covertly on 16 mm in Czechoslovakia, this work is part of Godard’s collaboration with the avant‑garde collective Groupe Dziga Vertov. It delivers a Marxist interpretation of the political climate that emerged after the 1968 revolution, using the unfiltered, on‑the‑ground feel of the hidden footage to underscore the upheaval and its consequences.
