Trailer. The singing revolution. The Film, the music, the dream
“The Film, the music, the dream… Most people don’t think about singing when they think about revolution. But song was the weapon of choice when Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. “The Singing Revolution” is an inspiring account of one nation’s dramatic rebirth. It is also an evocation of humankind’s irrepressible drive for freedom and self-determination. 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”.

Martha,
Thank you for posting about The Singing Revolution Film on your blog. This really is inspirational for freedom loving people in America, Israel & the Palestinian Territories, Iran, China, Cuba and everywhere that freedom is lacking. It shows that violence is not the only way out of tyranny.
The Singing Revolution tells the extraordinary story of the non-violent path Estonia took to free itself from Soviet occupation. A documentary film about a nation peacefully standing up for its freedom through song, with the unstoppable dream of reclaiming Estonian independence.
After phenomenal response in Europe, “The Singing Revolution” has come to North America — and to the people the producers had in mind during the four years they spent on the film. To request a screening in your area, just visit our website and sign up.
