Overview
Forty years ago this week, thousands of Hungarians demonstrated on the streets of Budapest in protest against Soviet occupation of their country and communist oppression. Subsequent Soviet retribution resulted in the deaths of between 3,000 and 5,000 Hungarians. Ex-revolutionaries Bela Liptak, Greg Pongratz, and Imre Mecs reunite to watch Jeremy Bennett's 1986 film 'Cry Hungary' and discuss how far the ideals of the revolution were achieved.
