Synopsis

The revolution which deposed Nicolae Ceauşescu began on December 17, 1989 and led to the dictator’s death on Christmas day the same year. Between those two events a demonstration took place which saw a leaderless army pitched against demonstrators determined to regain their lost freedom. Initially undecided as to how to act, the army officers eventually avoided bloodshed by announcing their intention to fraternize with the demonstrators. –inbaseline.com

Most of the story was based on actual events, researched from hundreds of hours of footage from state television archives. Ironically, and mirroring the confusion of events at the time, the footage was not preserved in chronological order, forcing them to distill their own history from it. www.brnrd.net/blog/archive/2007/02/02/iffr-the-paper-will-be-blue
