On 13th of January 1991, unarmed Lithuania struggled for its right to be a free, independent and democratic country. 14 people were killed, about 1000 were injured as the Soviet occupation army and the KGB attempted to overthrow the legitimate government of the country and to seize the Lithuanian national radio and television building, the TV tower and publishing houses. The people of Lithuania demonstrated their inner strength, they defeated the Soviet aggression and defended their freedom in the spirit of truth and love.
In 2012 we commemorate the 21th anniversary of this brutal crime committed by the Soviet regime and the 21th anniversary of non-violent resistance in defence of freedom.
This documentary is dedicated to the 21th anniversary of the tragic events. The witnesses of the events of those days share their memories in the film which also presents a unique material from the archives. Subtitles are added in English.
