Tomorrow night kicks off the first annual Venezuelan Liberty Film Festival, to be held in Caracas--and to feature two inspiring and timeless MPI films, Freedom's Fury and The Singing Revolution. Co-produced by MPI founder Thor Halvorssen, these films have been dubbed into Spanish through a partnership between MPI and the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), which Halvorssen founded and runs. Freedom's Fury tells the story of the bloody and intense water polo match between Hungary and the Soviet Union at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics; The Singing Revolution recounts how Estonia liberated itself from Soviet rule through a peaceful revolution anchored in song.
Co-sponsored by the Chacao Cultural Center, the Asociacion Civil Unidad Nacional (National Unity Civic Association), and HRF, the three-day event aims to inspire, educate, and encourage discussion about human freedom.
