Description
“We knew that whatever was going to happen, we were probably going to die.” Frank Hasenfratz.
Screening of the dramatic documentary, Young Rebels, followed by Q & A with those who took part in the Uprising as well as the filmmaker. Hungary’s Ambassador to Canada, Dr. Laszlo Pordany, will follow with summary comments. The film examines the individual stories of those who came to Canada following the Revolution of 1956. The more than 37,000 refugees who came to Canada following the crushing of the revolt were welcomed en masse. It was an act of compassion that changed them, and this country forever.
