    Sinopsys

    Olga is the compelling feature-film chronicle of the German Jew Olga Benario Prestes’ (1908-1942) life and times. A communist activist since her youth, Olga is persecuted by the Police and flees to Moscow, where she undergoes military training. She is put in charge of escorting Luis Carlos Prestes to Brazil to lead the Communist Revolution of 1935, falling in love with him long the way. With the failure of the Revolution, Olga is arrested alongside Prestes. Seven-month pregnant Olga is deported by President Vargas’ Government to Nazi Germany, where she gives birth to her daughter Anita Leocádia while incarcerated. Separated from her daughter, Olga is sent away to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where she is executed in the gas chamber.

    Equine recipients of the Dickin Medal

    There have been four equine recipients of the Dickin Medal since its creation in 1943: Regal, Olga, Upstart and Warrior. The first three received their awards at a ceremony on 11 April 1947 at Hyde Park in recognition of the courage they exhibited during World War II. All of the horses were mounts used by members of the Metropolitan Police Service during official duties and to aid civilians during the Blitz and later bombings from September 1940 to late 1944. Warrior was awarded an honorary posthumous medal in September 2014. Of the four recipients, two were honoured for courage during active duty, one for remaining calm when his stable was bombed on two separate occasions and one to commemorate the actions of animals during the First World War. The first three horses were selected primarily as a way to honour the entire mounted police force instead of singling out any particular deed. Olga, Upstart and Regal are buried at the Metropolitan Police Mounted Training Establishment at Thames Ditton which also displays their medals in a museum.

    Deep inside my head
    At the edge of wisdom
    Voices are waiting to be found
    They memorize the worst
    They´ve got all my fears and dread
    Memorize the worst
    And they´re forgetting the best
    And so it grows, with every mistake
    With every senseless road I take
    And so it grows, with every mistake
    With every senseless, road I take
    Like insects in my ears
    I heard them every day
    Like demons in my head
    I try to run away
    They´ve got all my fears and dread
    Memorize the worst
    And they´re forgetting the best
    And so it grows, with every mistake
    With every senseless, road I take
    And so it grows, with every mistake
    With every senseless, road I take
