Review of Children of Glory (2006) by Richard H — 24 Apr 2008
The year is 1956. Hungary's invincible water polo team is facing the Russians in the final at the Olympic Games in Melbourne. The team's loyalties are torn between the match and the revolution against Soviet domination breaking out on the streets of Budapest, into which they are drawn.
While their friends and families are fighting for their lives and for freedom against the Russian army, the players are facing their Soviet opponents in the pool, and the eyes of the world witness the bloodiest match in the history of the sport.
Based on a stirring true story.
