This film was historically correct and gave a grave picture about Hungary under Communism. It helped me better understand the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. The film footage gathered was very appropriate to the dialog. I am a daughter of a Freedom Fighter and am a refugee. I was too young to fully understand the events at the time. The story was easy to follow and made the history lesson very interesting. I can now better understand my parents, whose lives were scarred by these events. TORN FROM THE FLAG was very touching. This feeling was shared by the countless teary eyed viewers I noticed in the theater. Thank you for such an unforgettable film.
