Movie Haiku:With USA credits like TREME & THE WIRE, it was logical for HBO Europe to turn to Oscar-nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland to create this tense mini-series about the Soviet crackdown on Czechoslovakia in 1968. Now being released in the USA as a feature film, BB focuses on the complex consequences after a student burns himself to death as an act of protest.
