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.
Synopsis:
“Patience is a weapon. Caution a virtue.”
It is said, in Estonia, heroes are those who wait, watch and act only when the time is
right.
In 1991, after nearly fifty years of rule by a brutal Soviet occupation, the small
Republic of Estonia, confronted their occupiers by announcing their independence to
the world.
Their charge heralded the collapse of the Soviet Union and the freedom of nowsuddenly-
former Soviet republics.
And music played a pivotal role in these historical events.
“The Singing Revolution” tells the story of one country’s undeniable thirst for selfdetermination
and its unshakable belief in what it means to be free—to be Estonian.
