Andras Hegedus was prime minister of Hungary in the Communist regime. He is still held responsible for calling in the Soviet troops to quash the Hungarian Revolution in 1956. In the reprisal, thousands died and many fled the country. In 1999, his Australian grandson Peter returned to Hungary to ask him about decision that shaped Eastern European history for many decades to come. Grandfathers and Revolutions is a personal journey about the past into the future.
