Josef Klíma: Face to Face with Crime
Josef Klíma: Confessions of an Investigative Journalism Legend
An open confession from the Czech investigative journalism legend, writer, and screenwriter Josef Klíma about his toughest cases, most moving stories, and life journey. Fifty-six years as a reporter in the field—he has looked hundreds of criminals in the eye and witnessed thousands of poignant human stories, fates, and life twists from behind the camera. No story has left him unmarked.
Who did he truly help? What affected him the most? And what was his darkest case? Does the perfect crime exist? What is the soul of a murderer like? Is evil in our genes? What happens where the cameras aren't pointed? What did the criminal underworld warn him about? Who was his most famous informant? What did Karel Kopáč, the mastermind of the Orlík gang, once reveal to him? And what did the widow of the mafioso Běla hint at? What are gangsters afraid of? Would he go for a beer with Kajínek? What does the Czech underworld look like today? And are the wild nineties really making a comeback? Why is his date of birth shrouded in mystery?
What did he gain from his stay in a Buddhist monastery? How many times did he himself teeter on the edge of life and death? And when did someone “up there” give him an extra second?
