We Estonians like to talk about how we sang ourselves free. Far fewer of us like to talk about how, immediately before the restoration of our independence, sharp disagreements existed among the decisionmakers and the public and that agreement seemed impossible. And yet, agreement was reached. We built up our own state and whether it was exactly the one we wanted or not, but we wanted one and here it is. Want just this one, but we did, and here it is.

This story is based on interviews with women who helped restore Estonia\u2019s independence. The production team is playing with a myth that finally, amid a fiery confrontation, it was these few women who were able to preserve the peace, and the common ground necessary for declaring independence was found. But we\u2019re not just talking about the past. We\u2019re talking about the words for which our predecessors were ready to die, and what they mean to us today. When we talk about freedom and lack thereof, what are we really talking about? And is agreement even possible, when we\u2019re singing different tunes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","lavastus_tag":[],"venue":[394],"class_list":["post-17745","lavastus","type-lavastus","status-publish","hentry","venue-small-hall-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
