A free film screening of The Singing Revolution, followed by a discussion. The award-winning documentary film starts at 6 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Free popcorn. Film runtime: 1h 37m

Between 1987 and 1991, Estonians used song—not weapons—to resist Soviet occupation. Known as the Singing Revolution, this powerful nonviolent movement brought hundreds of thousands together in song, defying bans on patriotic music and expressing their deep cultural identity. Through music, they found unity, strength, and the courage to reclaim independence. The Singing Revolution is a stirring reminder of the strength of unity, hope, and nonviolent resistance.
