133 nap - A Tanácsköztársaság története (2014)

Glorious or just shameful. Hungarian historiography did not skimp on the qualifiers when dealing with the Hungarian Council Republic, for seventy years it presented the history of 133 days as either only positive or only negative. What happened at the same time as the break-up of Hungary in 1919 greatly influenced its later history. Despite keeping the Council Republic alive for less than half a year, it became an indelible part of Hungarian historiography. Manipulated school curricula, incomplete historical adaptations appeared in books and films. In 1989, the clarification of what had happened seventy years earlier became secondary. The intended purpose of this documentary is to present the later processing of the Council Republic and thus the history falsification that happened. It is important to clarify exactly what and why happened between March 21, 1919 and August 1, 1919.
