The Butcher of Prague

In the haunting drama "The Butcher of Prague" (also known as "Fall of the Innocent"), a true story set against the backdrop of World War II, we are presented with the dark and devastating events that unfolded in the Czech village of Lidice. Based on the real-life massacre that took place in 1942, after the assassination of Nazi Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich, this film tells the story of František Šíma's struggle to come to terms with the destruction of his home and community, a tragedy that would leave an indelible mark on Czech history.
