The Silent Revolution

Das schweigende Klassenzimmer

A gripping and true story set in 1956 in East Germany of a group of students who saw their life changed forever by a harmless human act of solidarity during the early stage of the Cold War, where freedom of thinking and integrity could make anyone an enemy of the state... or an ordinary hero. This is a film about the extraordinary courage of young individuals in a time of political oppression.

Nominated for four awards at the German Film Awards including Best Film.

"This is a solid, good-looking piece of filmmaking which is elevated by a clutch of strong performances from the young cast." - Wendy Ide, Screen International
