An anonymous short documentary recording the funeral of Czechoslovak student Jan Palach, who died after setting himself on fire in protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. Composed of approximately ten minutes of uninterrupted observational footage, the film documents the silent procession of mourners who gathered in Prague in January 1969, transforming the funeral into a collective act of public dissent. The film contains no narration or commentary and circulated clandestinely after being smuggled out of the country. (Note: This anonymously produced, uncredited film circulated independently as a silent protest document and is distinct from Raymond Depardon's authored documentary "Jan Palach" (1969), which was made separately by a foreign filmmaker.
