forthcoming: The Invisible Front OST by Olafur Arnalds

Another forthcoming soundtrack by Ólafur Arnalds. Not much intel yet. The best bet is still probably the Facebook page. This one could be pretty amazing:

In 1944, Soviet forces occupied the Baltics for the second time. At the first occupation, 1940-41, the government offered no resistance and the Lithuanians had quickly learned the brutal lessons of Communism. This time, they decided to resist.

Tens of thousands of young men and women from the villages, schools and universities took to the forests and formed a guerrilla movement, called the Forest Brothers.

One of their most charismatic leaders was Juozas Luksa, an architecture student. Along with his three brothers he joined the underground resistance, challenging the Soviets for years to come.

In 1947 Luksa broke out from the Soviet Union to seek support and to tell the tale of the desperate resistance to the West.

When in Paris he met the love of his life, Nijole Brazenaite, and married her. He wrote a touching memoir about the origins of the resistance, which was later published by his wife.

Shortly after their wedding, Luksa returned to Lithuania, air dropped by the CIA, for intelligence gathering. Panicking, Moscow launched vast resources to hunt him down, once for all ending the threat from the resistance to Communist rule in Lithuania.

This is the story one of the twentieth centuries most significant underground resistance movments told through the words and experiences of Juozas Luksa and his fellow Forest Brothers. Their war was completely unknown to the public in the West. The Soviet Security forces, fighting against them, dubbed the conflict “The Invisible Front”.
