Description

Most people don't think about singing when they think about revolutions. But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1987 and 1991, Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of brutal Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence. James Tusty and Maureen Castle Tusty's feature documentary tells the moving story of how the Estonian people peacefully regained their freedom—and helped topple an empire along the way. Narrated by Linda Hunt.
