In September 1968, Fidel Castro comments on the suppression of the Prague Spring in surprisingly critical terms.

Although Santiago Álvarez was the guest of honour at the Leipzig festival, this newsreel report was withdrawn from the programme. After long research it will be shown for the first time in Leipzig in this Retrospective.
