Movie description

With its rich silver mines, the medieval town of Jáchymov had given its name to the dollar. A few centuries later, the town gave face to the horror of Soviet terror in Central Europe. The film tells of the second and terrible face of the old and idyllic spa town of Jáchymov in the uranium-rich, Bohemian Ore Mountains - a small town that survived despite communist labor camps for Soviet atomic bombs.
