What Is The Strike About?
The premise of The Strike without spoilers.
In late‑19th‑century Bohemia, where Czech was the language of the populace, workers employed by German‑owned mines and foundries rise in revolt against brutal conditions. Filmed soon after World War II as Czechoslovakia slipped toward communism, it captures the lingering Czech resentment toward the German occupation.
