History often celebrates dramatic acts of heroism rather than smaller, more modest acts of leadership and courage. It was an accumulation of small acts throughout Eastern Europe that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. As the wall was being taken apart, citizens of a nearby country were also dismantling their own government. In Czechoslovakia, a protest movement led primarily by college students was blossoming. The process was mostly peaceful, and out of it, new leaders were born. These were young leaders with noble goals, and despite having little experience and shaky self-confidence, they made great strides in creating political change. Producer Alex Chadwick tells the story of one of these courageous young people, Natasha Dudinska.
