Synopsis:
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 Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in
public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence.
“The young people, without any political party, and without any politicians, just came together
... not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands ... to gather and to sing and to give
this nation a new spirit,” remarks Mart Laar, a Singing Revolution leader featured in the film
and the first post-Soviet Prime Minister of Estonia. “This was the idea of the Singing
Revolution.”
James Tusty and Maureen Castle Tusty’s "The Singing Revolution" tells the moving story of
how the Estonian people peacefully regained their freedom--and helped topple an empire
along the way.

Critical Praise:
"INSPIRING!... GRIPPING!... A STORY OF HOW FEELINGS BECAME SONGS, SONGS
BECAME A NATIONAL VOICE AND VOICE BECAME ACTION!" - Los Angeles Times
It's a powerful story of a nation that, almost literally, sang its way to freedom.
- Washington Post
The Singing Revolution becomes a tense political thriller that culminates in one of the most
significant events of past century: The collapse of the Soviet Union.
