Broken Voices producers reach settlement with Czech Television

The parties to a dispute over the TV broadcast of the film Broken Voices (Sbormistr) have agreed to a settlement, which was approved by a court. However, they cannot disclose the terms due to a non-disclosure agreement, Czech Television – one of the picture’s producers – said on its website.

Broken Voices, written and directed by Ondřej Provazník, was inspired by the case of the choirmaster of the Bambini di Praga ensemble Bohumil Kulínský, who was convicted of sexual abuse of underage members of the choir.

A former member said the story at the centre of the film resembled her own experiences as a minor and filed a lawsuit against the producers.In March a court blocked the television broadcast of the movie.
