Villagers remember Hans Tertsius of the Mahtra war
Külarahvas meenutab Mahtra sõja Hans Tertsiust
In 1858 the peasants of Mahtra rose against the manor over labour dues and land, and soldiers were sent to put them down. A hundred years later Ervin Martinson made a radio programme about the uprising. Ants Kruusimägi, a teacher at Juuru school, explains what happened, and four local people share what had been handed down to them about Hans Tertsius, a Mahtra peasant caught up in the events. Readings from literature are woven between the voices, and the programme was made for the uprising's centenary.

Eesti keeles
1858. aastal tõusid Mahtra talupojad teokohustuste ja maa pärast mõisa vastu ning nende mahasurumiseks saadeti kohale sõjavägi. Sada aastat hiljem tegi Ervin Martinson ülestõusust raadiosaate. Juuru kooli õpetaja Ants Kruusimägi selgitab toimunut ning neli kohalikku inimest jagavad, mida neile on pärimusena räägitud sündmustesse sattunud Mahtra talupojast Hans Tertsiusest. Häälte vahele on põimitud katkendeid kirjandusest; saade valmis ülestõusu 100. aastapäevaks.
