Karl F. Stewart - Buda Goes to Pest

Single channel video.

Hungarians refer to themselves as the Magyars. And in October 1956, the Magyars rose up in defense of their right to be free as individuals and fought against being used as collective slaves under the Soviet imposed communist government of Hungarian born Mátyás Rákosi.

The film poetically speaks of the origins of the symbol of the uprising - the Hungarian fag with a hole in the middle of it.
