Incredibly sad....
12 August 2015
This documentary is about the pretty much unknown resistance movement in the Baltic republic and the guerrilla war they waged with the Soviets after they were taken over by the Soviets after WWII. While many in the West know that these countries and others were taken over by the Russian army, nothing is ever said about the folks who took to the woods and took up arms against their oppressors. Eventually, this movement was pretty much wiped out and survivors today agreed to be interviewed for the film--including many folks from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. In addition, a lot of archival footage and photos are used to construct this very sad and fruitless struggle. Worth seeing, though not surprisingly it's very downbeat and so many brave folks died in this struggle for freedom.
