A documentary commemorating the 70th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution
On October 23, 1956, thousands of young people and citizens of Hungary marched to protest the repressive communist regime. The heroism of that day led to the eventual collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
This dynamic, multi-award winning film portrays the fight for democracy and freedom, the Cold War, and the Hungarian uprising and revolution of 1956. That act of defiance holds lessons and inspiration to all people living under repressive regimes, even today.
The film was an Oscar contender in “Best Documentary” and was selected by five Academy Award qualifying festivals.
