We all know that our opinions and behaviour are largely affected by other people. That is true both in democratic and authoritarian societies. A classical film that work out this theme is Sidney Lumet's film "Twelve Angry Men". In this Slovakian film the scene is not a jury but parents in a school class. The detestable acts have been carried out by the children's teacher who is a leading member of the communist party. The film supports our hope that is possible to withstand the power elite - yet the outcome it is far from clear.
