In April 2009, Václav Havel suggested to director Petr Jančárek to ‘film the rest of his life’.
Their almost three-year-long collaboration, which ended with Havel'
s death, was characterized by complete openness, the ex-president'
s trust in the director and the creator'
s responsibility towards his protagonist. Feature documentary Havel Speaking, Can You Hear Me? is crafted from unique footage, treading the non-existent line between the private and public personas of this global figure.
