Prioritize:
A Slovak attempt to come to terms, after 14 years, with the dark legacy of World War II and Slovakia's collaboration with the Nazis. The Slovak National Uprising is portrayed here with the power it had on people, presented as the effort of individuals who realized that Nazism was wrong. It’s patriotic and actually good.
