”1989. The Diary of a Revolution”
The film "1989. The Diary of a Revolution" is based on interviews with actors whose unfiltered opinions, whether personal, civic or social, are intertwined to provide the “bigger picture” of a historical event.
Besides the confessions of the actors, the film includes interviews about Security, Ceaușescu Trial, Revolution, Terrorists with historians from Romania, UK and USA.
“Denying the Revolution is like deleting the faith of an entire people in itself, the belief that anytime it has the power to go out in the street and to change a political system, the way it did in 1989. The people went out in the street in order to change the dictatorial communist regime, with the risk of getting shot. Even more of them went out when they started being shot. Denying the value of the people's actions who went out to protest in the conditions when they risked being killed and in the conditions when they actually got killed, denying the importance and the impact of their courage means denying the importance and the impact of their courage means denying the courage of a people and this is the form under which the crimes against humanity start. In 1989 the political regime in Romania changed because the people went out in the streets”, the director Carmen Lidia Vidu said.
