<p class=MsoNormal>On Sat. Feb. 27 at 7pm the Sand Lake Center for the Arts
will be showcasing <span class=yshortcuts><b><i>The Singing Revolution</i></b></span>.
Created by Capital District residents James and Maureen Tusty, the film is a
documentary that tells the extraordinary story of the non-violent path <span
class=yshortcuts>Estonia</span> took to free itself from <span
class=yshortcuts>Soviet occupation</span>. In 1991, after nearly fifty years of
rule by a brutal Soviet occupation, the small Republic of Estonia confronted
their occupiers by announcing their independence to the world. Music played a
pivotal role in this historical event. <em><b><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The
Singing Revolution</span></b></em> tells the story of one country’s
undeniable thirst for self-determination and its unshakable belief in what it
means to be free—to be Estonian. Jim is a dual citizen of the U.S. and
Estonia. He and Maureen own Sky Films, Inc., working out of their office in <span
class=yshortcuts>Manhattan</span> as well as their home in Averill Park, N.Y.
Jim was always hearing stories about Estonia from his immigrant father,
Julius, who came to the U.S. in 1924.<br>
In 1999 and 2001, Jim and Maureen were given the chance to teach filmmaking
courses at a college in Jim’s ancestral homeland. For the next two years,
everything the Tustys learned stayed with them and they eventually asked
themselves two key questions: “If not us, who?”, and “If not
now, when?” With that dedication—and little else—they
proceeded to embark on what became a four year journey in creating <span
class=yshortcuts><b><i>The Singing Revolution</i></b></span>, a movie and a
movement. Both had already produced innumerable TV programs, commercials and
corporate films via their <span class=yshortcuts>Mountain View Group production</span>
company. Director/Producer Maureen Castle Tusty embraced her husband’s
heritage as her own in the course of teaching in Estonia, falling in love with
the people of this country. For this emotionally moving and history filled
documentary, tickets are $8 and $5 for under 18. For
reservations call <span class=yshortcuts>518-674-2007</span> or visit <a

The SLCA is located at 2880 NY 43, one half mile east of the blinking light in
Averill Park, NY.<o:p></o:p></p>
