David Harris just told me about an upcoming documentary, that I think
is very special, to be shown soon, in your area in S.F. Don't miss it!
"The Singing Revolution"
San Francisco, CA, May 2nd - May 8th at the Landmark Lumiere.
I saw this film at the Boulder International Film Festival last
February, and it lives up to its promises; it is one of those
rare films that stays in your mind forever.
Here is the trailer for the film: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.singingrevolution.com/">http://www.singingrevolution.com/</a>
Here is my own brief experience with that time in history:

Most of the film were events of which I was very familiar, but
there were a few pleasant surprise-events too.
Here is Steve Jurvetson's summary, and also of his readers:

Jurvetson's readers give more links to reviews where the movie has
played.
