Mimorádná zpráva (2018)

Breaking News is a feature documentary which follows two newsrooms in the Czech Republic that fight to cover a secret gathering where Milos Zeman, the seated President, will announce if he will run for reelection. Around 900 people will be at this event in the Prague Castle, and the press are not invited. Sounds like a challenge, well two newsrooms tackled it head on, and this documentary covers a full work day leading up to it. All of the events took place on March 9, 2017, and we get a sense that these reporters know this may be their biggest story of the year. By the end of it, you will think, what a difference a day makes.
