“At the same time, the film comes at a moment when Slovakia is once again on its knees. In a time when one opinion has achieved absolute political power, and we know very well that absolutism is never good. With silent awe and tears in our eyes, we watch the state make repressive moves against brave policemen and prosecutors; there are resignations in culture and the environment, or even in STVR; criminals are being released; privatization is subtly underway; misinformation and hoaxes are ruling; NAKA is being disbanded; laws are emerging that do not protect the citizen, his property, or his life, but rather the state and its elites. The arrogance of power in live broadcast provokes resistance, with some people asking how they can respond to all this when the political scene only demonstrates the meaning of the well-known saying:u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Win the election, you can do anything.u0026quot;nu003culu003eu003cliu003ePavol Paskau003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are looking for a film that will not leave you indifferent and will evoke strong emotions, MIKI is the right choice.
