Storyline

1876. After five centuries of slavery, the Bulgarians faced a fateful choice - either freedom or death. A handful of young revolutionaries gather in Gyurgevo, on free Romanian soil, and draw up a plan for the liberation of enslaved Bulgaria. Hristo Botev, poet, newspaperman and teacher, throws down his pen and leads two hundred young men to the aid of his rebel brothers.

"He who falls fighting for freedom does not die."
