Could it have been prevented? You will find answers to these questions in this biographical documentary. And more than that—you will also learn how to get back on your feet and rise again during the most difficult moments in life. Did the legendary athlete attempt a comeback last year? The documentary Gabriela Soukalová: Pravda se pořád vyplatí will give you the answer.
