Based on Franz Kafka's famous novel `The Trial' a documentary is scheduled for screening at Kino Svetozor. The documentary is essentially carrying the Kafkaesque flavor.

The novel and documentary both are based on Austria's Article 278a, where five animal right activists were caught under laws meant for dealing with the organized crime and terrorism. Under this law attitude of the accused person is the main evidence, irrespective of the fact, whether he has actually committed the crime or not.

One of the main protagonists, animal activist and teacher, Martin Balluch will also be present at the screening in Prague. After the screening, he will talk in detail about the film and animal rights, as well.

According to Ewa Iwaszuk, from an International Young Naturefriends (IYNF), a Prague based NGO; Balluch is one of those rare activists who stand up against the animal cruelty even if his self respect is on stake.

It is well known that Balluch has always criticized the violence and cruelty against the animals and has strongly demanded for the better animal right laws. Ewa told the Prague Post that with efforts of Balluch, animal welfare laws in Austria are very progressive and it is the first European country that has prohibited the battery farms and fur farms for chickens.
