The 22nd One World International Documentary Film Festival in Prague was abruptly interrupted and postponed, as during its official dates (5-14 March), the Czech government introduced restrictions to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Therefore, the festival could not conduct all of its screenings, and part of its programme had to be postponed. Making the promise that this would not be the end of the festival, One World has also announced its winners, and aims to organise an event in autumn to round off this edition.
