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 the story of humankind’s irrepressible drive for freedom and self-determination. “Imagine the scene in CASABLANCA in which the French patrons sing La Marseillaise in defiance of the Germans, then multiply its power by a factor of thousands, and you’ve only begun to imagine the force of THE SINGING REVOLUTION.” (Matt Zoller Seitz, The New York Times). 94 minutes, in Estonian with subtitles. Sponsored by Rubin, Kidney, Myer and DeWolfe. Community Partner: Vermont Council on World Affairs. Review
