“Most people don’t think about singing when they think about revolutions. But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1986 and 1991, Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence.”

This is the subject of a new film called “The Singing Revolution” : visit their site. The trailer is definately worth watching, even if you don’t get a chance to see the film.
