On October 13, 1956, a group of 12 students from the university faculties in Szeged, Hungary, met to play cards. They had become sick of the undemocratic political system and Soviet oppression their country had been facing since the end of the second world war. False elections, forced ideology, a crumbling economy and a people repressed was the story in a once-independent Hungary. So, they sent notes to fellow students and faculty members about their plans for revolution, growing the roots of the uprising. Their game of cards resulted in thousands of people taking to the streets, demanding democracy and an end to the Soviet Regime.

History tells the story of a brutal end to the 12-day revolution, with Soviet tanks crushing the dreams of Hungarian revolutionaries. But delegates in this committee have the opportunity to seek out justice and let ideas flow as freely as the River Danube.
