Mrtvá Trat plot

Meticulous reconstruction of Stalin's plan for a railway that would inflict numerous casualties and whose logic is still a mystery. With a single pencil line, Stalin indicated the line where he wanted a railway through the inhospitable frozen landscape. For four years, 80,000 Gulag prisoners were put to work in horrific conditions. The death of Stalin became their liberation. Špidla goes in search of witnesses from that time.
