A different history of the Cold War: how Estonians under Soviet tyranny began to feel the breeze of freedom when a group of anonymous dreamers successfully used improbable methods to capture the Finnish television signal, a window into Western popular culture, brave but harmless warriors who helped change the fate of an entire nation.

Wiki.
Disco and Atomic War (Estonian: Disko ja tuumasõda) is a 2009 Estonian documentary film written by Jaak Kilmi. In the film, Kilmi talks about illegally watching Finnish television in Communist Estonia as a boy. He describes, amongst others, how his father made special converters for Soviet television sets to watch Finnish TV, his mother made TV guides for Finnish television that he would then sell at school, and popularity of Dallas and Knight Rider in 1980s Estonia.
