Film production support for BBC 2 – Simon Schama’s History of Now

Fixer Service Prague is honored to provide film production support for BBC 2 on this brilliant documentary series about our modern history, particularly the third episode entitled Truth and Democracy. Full film production service covered everything from  detailed location scouting and permitting, through securing local crew and camera equipment, to production coordination and on-set assistance.

In his most personal project to date, Simon Schama looks back at the dramatic history that has played out in his lifetime. Born in 1945 on the night of the bombing of Dresden, Simon grew up as part of a generation determined to rebuild the world from the ashes of war. Thanks to our film production support for BBC 2, this story comes alive on screen, showing artists and writers who fought for truth and democracy, often at great personal risk.

Travelling to Prague Simon explores how artists and writers in Czechoslovakia provided a powerful blueprint for cultural resistance in the 1960s and 70s, making the Prague segment a key part of the episode.
