The story of Milada Horáková, democratic pre-WW2 Czech politician who was arrested and tried by the Nazis during World War II. During the postwar years, she was arrested on fabricated charges and executed by the Communist government for her refusal to cease her opposition activity and leave the country.
In 1953, Bohuslav Horák (her husband) immigrated alone to Washington, D. C., after several failed attempts to take Jana (their daughter) with him. In 1968, after being separated for nearly 20 years, Bohuslav and his daughter were finally reunited in the US.
In 1989, Communism was overthrown in a bloodless revolution. Czechoslovakia became freed from the communist regime. The movie was dedicated to the continuing fight for freedom of the more than two billion people who live under dictatorships. - TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL - Milada Horáková (1901–1950)
