I wonder where I was all the time this was happening, since I barely remember hearing something about Estonia. But these people prove that all people want is freedom–to be who they are and what they stand for. These are brave, dedicated people, and it was an honor to see their faces, both in their activist youth and today, when they are living exactly the way they want. After the film I met a woman whose parents came to the U.S. after fleeing Estonia, and she still wishes that she could have done something to help.

I am getting chills just remembering her, with tears running down her cheeks. She is a proud “Estonian American” and I wish we could have talked longer about the film.
