"As the 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution approaches and memories of its destruction by Soviet forces recede,
it is vital to show the sufferings of ordinary Hungarians. This film is a bold endeavor to help Americans understand both
the bravery of a people yearning for freedom and the brutal invasion that was intended to crush their hopes."
