Freedom Dance: The Movie - an animated film about 1956!
"Freedom
Dance" re-tells the inspiring story of a Hungarian-born artist named
Edward Hilbert who (with his newly wedded wife, Judy)
made a dangerous escape from occupied Hungary in 1956 during the violent
Hungarian Revolution, taking refuge in the land of Edward's dreams: America!
Throughout their 4 months on the road, Edward, the child star of the Hungarian
classic film "Meseauto," kept a journal in cartoon form illustrating
various episodes from his adventure. The filmmakers need your financial
support to complete this unique project and are even selling original
artwork by the artist and stills from the film. [read
