Torn from the Flag: A Film by Klaudia Kovacs (2007)
Inspiring, human and relevant
Torn from the Flag is a very good, dynamic, emotional film about freedom. In 1956, Hungary, a tiny nation of only 10 million people rose against tyranny and with the Hungarian army's help won against the Soviet army who had been "temporarily" in Hungary since WWII. The Hungarians were free for 13 days. Even though the revolt was then militarily defeated, the spirit of freedom never died. Hungary's revolt influenced other nations to stand up against the communist system. Multi-talented filmmaker (Producer, Director, Writer) Klaudia Kovacs dreamt the story and carried through her dream. Hungarian history is a living testimony: only temporarily can you keep a nation under terror. Today, as we know very well, many nations need to have their flag "torn." Instead of vengeance, love, understanding and humanism need to come!
