"Song was the weapon of choice . . ."

It looks like something from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but it isn't.


Check out this website called "The Singing Revolution" . . . a film that discusses the role that singing played in Estonia's revolution.

A portion here:

Most people don't think about singing when they think about revolution. But song was the weapon of choice when Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. "The Singing Revolution" is an inspiring account of one nation's dramatic rebirth. It is the story of humankind's irrepressible drive for freedom and self-determination.
