June 17, 1953 - the day on which workers in the former Soviet Union took a stand against their government for the first time to protest against excessive labor standards. The protests escalated into a political uprising, which was only ended by the Soviet army using tanks. 50 years later, the docudrama "The Uprising" captivatingly depicts the historical events of those days that threatened to unhinge the SED system.
