Screening over.

1956 East Germany, prior to the building of the Berlin Wall.   THE SILENT REVOLUTION tells a deeply moving story based on the personal experiences and the eponymous book by Dietrich Garstka – one of the 19 schoolchildren who turned an entire state apparatus against them with a simple humane gesture.

“A fascinating footnote in mid-20th-century German history gets an expectedly worthy treatment by writer-director Lars Kraume in THE SILENT REVOLUTION.” – Jay Weissberg, Variety

“THE SILENT REVOLUTION offers an important history lesson on what can happen when people dare to aspire to be free-thinkers.” – Howard Elias, Howard For Film

Language: German, Russian (English subtitles)
