In 1956, Karcsi Szab\u00f3 was a star athlete at the University of Budapest and had been named captain of the national water polo team than would represent Hungary in the Olympics held that summer in Australia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But Hungary had fallen under the oppressive rule of the Soviet Union, and a growing number of Hungarians were demanding independence. One day, Szab\u00f3 and his friend Tibi witness a demonstration led by a young woman, Viki Falk, demanding an end to Soviet rule in Hungary. While initially Szab\u00f3 is more attracted to Falk&#8217;s beauty than her message, he is awakened<br \/>\nto the need for revolution; however, an uprising by the people is crushed by the Soviet war machine. When Szab\u00f3 and his teammates discover that Hungary will be competing against the U.S.S.R. in the men&#8217;s Water Polo tournament at the upcoming Olympics, they see an opportunity for a symbolic victory over their oppressors if they will be allowed to leave to country to compete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">(Based on the true story of Hungary&#8217;s 1956 water polo victory over the Soviet Union in what has been described as the most violent match in the<br \/>\nhistory of the sport.\u00a0The documentary Freedom&#8217;s Fury offered a factual perspective on the same event.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FEATURE FILM at Hungarian Congress: Children of Glory 10 AM FRIDAY \u2013 SAVOY ROOM (123 min.) &nbsp; Recounts the story of the 1956 epic battle between the Hungarian &amp; Soviet water polo team against the backdrop of the events of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
