One Pair of Eyes

Season 2 Episode 5: 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.
