I, Olga 18
An exploration of the psychological roots behind a mass murder, investigating the life of Olga Hepnarová before she intentionally killed eight strangers with a truck in Prague in 1973. A dark look at a the mindset of a killer with a death wish.
This film tracks the life of Olga as we take a look into the mind of an unrepentant killer. "To commit suicide you need a strong will, something you certainly don't have," Olga's mother tells her towards the start of the film. It turns out Olga's will was stronger than she could have imagined.
