Zdena Tomin -
Nationality Uncertain
A room in East London that remained locked for 30 years ... Soviet tanks in the streets of Prague.... a battered typewriter.... a bridge near Oxford that leads nowhere ... the Bengali community in Spitalfields ... a peace march: these are some of the images and scenes that Zdena Tomin looks at in this film. In Czechoslovakia she was a spokeswoman for the human rights movement Charter 77 and saw democracy made and then destroyed in 1968. As a stranger, an exile with the official status Nationality Uncertain, she looks for the roots of democracy in Britain today.
