Description
An explosive story of friendship and sacrifice in a land where only the silent survive...
They are Bulgaria's รฉlite, world-renowned artists and athletes, performers and war heroes. Six men and one woman who call themselves 'The October Circle'. Devoted comrades, drawn together by a fervent belief in communism and an undying love of justice.
But on an August day in 1968 their beliefs are shattered by the roar of Russian tanks thundering toward the defenceless Czechoslovakian capital. Driven by conscience, the seven friends stage an extremely dangerous and highly courageous demonstration.
And almost overnight their actions release a flood of repression and death from a government that plans to reward the group's bravery with each member's permanent disappearance.
The October Circle is a story of heroism and betrayal, a powerful and moving tribute to the incorruptible spirit of those who dare to be free.
