Historical documentary - Pitka legend

Johan Pitka was Estonia's first sea admiral. He was a man who stood with uncompromising confidence during pivotal events at the beginning of Estonian statehood; whether it was the formation of the Defence League, the armoured trains in the War of Independence or many other important events that required Pitka's own extraordinary courage. The life of one of the most exciting great figures in our history was as varied and outlandish as the man's character. "The Long Legend" brings to life the story of the first Estonian admiral, his era, struggles and dreams through staged scenes with renowned actors, animation and documentary footage.
