Synopsis

The story of Estonia's non-violent march towards freedom, from the 1939 secret protocol of the Molotv-Rippentrop pact between Stalin and Hitler that would ignite World War II, to the Siberian Gulag and the Estonian underground resistance known as the Forest Brothers, with a particular attention to the Song Festival 'Laulupidu', founded in 1869, which would keep hope alive during the entire occupation.
