The Silent Revolution follows the progressive graduating Highschool class, that is showing their solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising of 1953. They are met by the German Democratic Republic... with force. I think this movie was wonderful. Very well directed with creative cinematic shots. Also, Lena Klenke is gorgeous. Other than that I had no prior education on any of these historical events, and I think this movie was a creative and compelling way of educating myself on history.
