Interesting facts

Girl America is a 2024 Czech drama film directed Viktor Tauš and written by David Jařab.

Production

The film is based on the true story of Zdena Vrbová who met the film's director Viktor Tauš when he himself was living on the streets and was addicted to heroin. The intensity of her story, after the isolation caused by drugs, rekindled his interest in other people, his desire to understand where Zdena gets her inner strength from after the traumas she had experienced.

Tauš first adapted Zdena Vrbová's story as a theater play, which he revised several times. The main roles were played by Tereza Ramba and Eliška Křenková, and it was performed on the Jatka78 art stage.
