Torn from the Flag is a 2007 documentary film about the international decline of communism and the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
The film encompasses the tense Cold War era (1945–1991) and presents the rivalry of the superpowers during that time.
It shows the 1956 Hungarian Revolution as the first catalyst for the future decline of the communist system, and as a remarkable turning point for the advancement of democracy.
Torn from the Flag was made primarily for international theatrical release and television distribution.
It was screened in the festival’s "Milestones" section—described as "celebrating the best of the best"—along with films by Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni.
