This was about Estonia's cultural pattern of each town having a choir all of which gathered annually - about 30,000 - and the rest of the country came too - about a million - and how the singing was key to maintaining their identity through the russian then nazi then again communist invasions. They didn't have much of a military to defend themselves, yet they have survived. In the 90's there was a human chain which spanned the three countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. We saw it in Sacramento on August 4th - it had been playing for 5 days in a small "ancient" theater there. It was somewhat of a mirror me of the years of singing we all did and this conversation on singing and songbooks that holds us in being even now.

See if your city is listed. Be sure to watch the 5 minute trailer. We are planning to drive to Cary, NC to see this amazing sounding film. They are holding it over for another week in Cary because of the response. Lynda Cock

Dear Friends,
IT'S WORKING! Thank you for continuing to spread the word about The Singing Revolution. The film has been embraced in over 60 cities in the U.S. and Canada so far, with more theaters coming soon. Last fall we thought the theatrical run might go through April or May, but the film is still being booked into August! Theaters are seeing the fantastic, steady results in each city we’ve opened in so far, and are now contacting us to book the film. Word of mouth is how it’s happening, but the power of this remarkable story is why it’s happening. Please help us keep the momentum going.
We're also excited that the film will be playing in Riga, Latvia in June & July. Full European distribution is in the works and will follow the North American theatrcial run.
Below are the latest theaters the film is opening in, and more are being booked each week… Details are available on the website: www.singingrevolution.com.

PS – It’s proving physically impossible to keep up with the volume of emails we receive regarding the film. Please know that each email is read, and timely or urgent ones are responded to as quickly as possible. Ultimately we are trying to respond to all, but there are hundreds backed up and we’re trying to come up with a system to better handle it. When someone writes a personal note about what the film meant to them, or how their grandfather died in a Soviet gulag and now they understand so much more of his life, it just doesn’t seem right to hand that off to an intern to reply to it. Please know that we’re doing our best to keep up with it.
