Movie Today At CACC- The Singing Revolution

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15

From Cape Ann Community Cinema Website-

Most people don’t think about singing when they think about revolution. But song was the weapon of choice when Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. “The Singing Revolution” is an inspiring account of one nation’s dramatic rebirth. It is the story of humankind’s irrepressible drive for freedom and self-determination.

If Hollywood made this story up, no one would believe it. And yet this story of hope, non-violence, and perseverance has been playing to standing ovations in theaters across the country.

“Imagine the scene in ‘Casablanca’ in which the French patrons sing ‘La Marseillaise’ in defiance of the Germans, then multiply its power by a factor of thousands, and you’ve only begun to imagine the force of ‘The Singing Revolution’.” -Matt Zoller Seitz, The New York Times
