The Singing Revolution- In 1999, husband and wife Jim and Maureen Tusty moved from the US to Estonia to teach filmmaking courses in Tallinn. Jim was an American of Estonian ancestry, and this connection to Estonia brought him and Maureen to the land of his forefathers. While teaching at university, they learned of the movement called the singing revolution, which propelled Estonia and the other Baltic states to independence in 1991. In 2004, they began shooting videos, interviews and researching archival footage. After 2 years of additional editing, their film 'The Singing Revolution' had its worldwide premier in 2006 at the Black Nights Film Festival in Tallinn, Estonia. (2006, 75 min)
