Karel Šuster: Remembering Romek Hanzlík

Romek Hanzlík (*20 November 1961 / †1 June 2019) was first the guitarist of FPB, then the guitarist of Už jsme doma, then their manager, then the manager of many other bands, the creator of several festivals, the author of several books, and at the end of his life an award-winning photographer. It was he who invented and together with Václav Kučera, he stomped out of the ground the documentary "Takovej barevnej vocas letící komety" about Filip Topol and then the documentary "Rozsviť světlo, let them see". But he didn't manage to finish it...
