Andy Vajna's Cinergi Prods. is coming on board to complete the financing of the feature documentary Freedom's Fury, which is being written and directed by Colin Gray and his sister, Megan Raney, and produced by Wolo Entertainment. The film revolves around the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and the epic 1956 Olympic water polo semifinal match between Hungary and Russia. Shortly after Soviet Red Army tanks rolled through the streets of Budapest, suppressing a popular uprising, the two countries found themselves set to compete against one another in the water polo semifinals in the Summer Olympics, held in Australia. The topic has long been of interest to Gray, who grew up playing water polo and first learned of the story from his university team coach, who was Hungarian.
