Helsinki’s Tuglas Society is a Finnish organization that promotes Estonian culture and language. During the Soviet occupation it served a vital role as an open channel to the West for Estonia. This documentary recounts the events beginning on August 19th, 1991 when the world heard that Russian President Gorbachev had been deposed. While worried Estonians wait to see if the Soviets would once again invade their homeland, The Tuglas Society – led by brilliant Estonian Foreign Minister Lennart Meri – spring into action. It’s through Meri’s masterfully crafted political response that Estonia is able to declare independence.

Makers of Food
A taste of home. That’s what the thousands of Estonian refugees who settled in Toronto after the war yearned for, and that’s what a handful of Estonian bakers, butchers and entrepreneurs provided. This touching documentary recounts the stories of the families who started Estonian food shops such as Viking Bakery, Poko Meats and A. Amjärvis Sweets. The past comes alive with wonderful archival footage of stores long gone and everyday Estonians enjoying the food made by families who helped make life in a new land a little less strange.
