András Kerekes
Director


Whoever you can't defeat, crush his honor and turn comrades against him - this is how the state security service's method of discrediting and disintegration, which was favorably used from 1957 until the change of regime, and even beyond, can be summed up. The party state secret service not only observed and intimidated the system's external and internal enemies, but also spread the most absurd accusations against them with the help of agents. The documentary of Gergely Huth and András Kerekes explains the essence of dumping on someone on the example of the charismatic opposition professor Sándor Szalai, and also draws attention to the fact examining history of the gritty Inconnu artists group: it is not at all a coincidence that by the time of the regime change, the opposition had already been torn apart by thousands of fault lines. "The blight worked," notes one of the documentary's experts bitterly. The authenticity of the exploration of the past is given by the documents and research of the Béla Hamvas Cultural Research Institute, the 52-minute work is made exciting by feature film tools.
