The Life of an Agent (2004)

During the communist era hundreds of propaganda and instructional films as well as short and full-length feature films were produced in Hungary

These films addressed a wide range of subjects, providing guidance as to the appropriate methods of protecting the socialist state for Hungarian policemen, border-guards and counter-intelligence staff. Among others, their subjects included the expert illustration of a clandestine home raid, the operative shadowing of select target persons, the installation of tapping devices, and the organisation of agents and denunciators. The film is divided into four sub-parts, treated in 10-15 minutes each.

1. Where to put the bug?
2. Introduction to raiding homes
