The Czech Republic participated in the EU Film Festival in Amman on September 20, 2025, with a screening of the historical drama Vlny (Waves). Introduced by Czech Ambassador to Jordan Andrea Kučerová, the film recounts the events of the 1968 Prague Spring and the subsequent Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia through the eyes of journalists at Czechoslovak Radio. Vlny tells a compelling story of courage and the critical role of a free press in a time of political upheaval, focusing on a young technician who must choose between his family's safety and his conscience. The film's inclusion in the festival highlights the cultural exchange between Jordan and Europe and emphasizes the importance of shared values like freedom and resistance.
