On 16 January 1969, to protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia, he poured flammable liquid on himself and set himself on fire. Three days later he succumbed to the heavy burns. He wanted to alarm the subdued nation and wake it up from lethargy. All he became was its bad conscience. The tragic story of a sensitive young man was filmed by Robert Sedláček. (Summer Film School)
