"The Singing Revolution" trailer

Great documentary! After I showed this film to my foreign friends, they understood why Estonians love to sing and dance and why this is so important to us. And fellow Estonians, I recommend it to you as well! :)

First occupied by the Soviets in 1939, then by the Nazis, and then by the Soviets again, Estonia lived through decades of terror. By the end of World War II, more than one-quarter of the population had been deported to Siberia, been executed, or had fled the country. Music sustained the Estonian people during those years, and was such a crucial part of their struggle for freedom that their successful bid for independence is known as the Singing Revolution. The Singing Revolution is the first film to tell this historically vital tale.
