JUDr Milada Horáková (25th December 1901 – 27th June 1950) was a Czech politician, the victim of a judicial murder during the communist trials of the 1950s. She was sentenced to death for a construed case of conspiracy and high treason and was the only woman to be executed in these cases. Her courage has turned her name into a symbol of resistance against the totalitarian power of the ruling communist party. The ten-part series produced by Czech Television is a reconstruction of the trial of Milada Horáková, using authentic film and sound recordings made at the time, as well as personal testimony from eyewitnesses and historians.
