The Invisible Scars of Forced Sterilization Still Haunt Us The Slovak film "Only Beautiful Things to Look At" has generated significant buzz at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and its planned US remake has already sparked a necessary conversation about one of humanity's darkest secrets: forced sterilization.
Director Ivan Ostrochovský's latest drama explores the painful history of Romani women being subjected to this brutal practice in former Czechoslovakia, but it's not just a story from the past.
The 1980s setting may seem distant, but Ostrochovský's film sheds light on an issue that remains alive today.
