The Baltic Way

The Baltic Way is a video essay on a peaceful human chain that linked Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on 23 August 1989. The film's introduction follows a movement from repression towards freedom.

UNESCO's Memory of the World account describes a chain of about 600 kilometres and explains the significance of its date: the fiftieth anniversary of the 1939 German–Soviet pact. This source provides historical context; it does not identify footage used in Djaglon's film.

A question to take into the film: how can a shared public action make a demand for freedom visible?
