Despite communism's attempts to suppress music, which was deemed to have a negative impact on the young generation, rock'n'roll took the sound of freedom to the other side of the Iron Curtain. In a span of 30 years, thousands of underground bands and millions of young fans craving Western values aided a non-violent crash of the Soviet regime.

Fiume o morte! Fiume o morte!

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
