The Singing Revolution

A Song in Your Heart
Oppressed for decades by Nazi Germany and then by the former Soviet Union, the people of Estonia resisted—and then began a revolution—by singing. In the film The Singing Revolution, producers Maur­een Castle Tusty and Jim Tusty use historical footage and personal interviews with key players to illustrate Estonia’s long tradition of singing and how a timely song festival provided not just the lyrics but the passion to free themselves—peacefully. www.singingrevolution.com
