During his short life, Milan Rastislav Štefánik accomplished many extraordinary feats in the pursuit of his nation's liberation and the founding of Czechoslovakia. A man of many facets and professions, he left his mark on the history of several nations. This two-part documentary examines his personality from three distinct historical perspectives: French, Czech, and Slovak. Through these viewpoints—complemented by previously unpublished photographs—we piece together a comprehensive portrait of one of Slovakia’s most significant figures.
