Amerikanka
The poignant tale of a forsaken girl raised in totalitarian Czechoslovakia, blending surreal visuals with the reality in her fight for redemption. They call her Girl America (Amerikánka). Once a girl, now a woman.How many times can you be knocked down and yet rise again? An orphan under communism.
Foster care. Juvenile detention. And then, the Velvet Revolution.
Girl America is more than just a story of perseverance; it‘s an emotional journey that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of hope. The hope that one day you’d escape to America, where your father awaits.
