“He who falls fighting for freedom does not die.”
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.
