HOW TO START A REVOLUTION, a film about Prof. Gene Sharp and how his ideas have influenced various nonviolent revolutions around the world.
This new film HOW TO START A REVOLUTION reveals how Prof. Gene Sharp's ideas on nonviolent revolution work in action. The film uses extended interviews with Gene himself, his assistant, his followers and leaders of revolutionary movements worldwide, as well as user-generated content from around the globe, to reveal the power of nonviolent revolution on the streets.
An introduction followed by Q&A with the film's director Ruaridh Arrow. Arrow is an alumnus of King's College London and Glasgow University. He won the Scottish Young Journalist of the Year and a Guardian Student Media Award for investigations including the European paedophile network in Vietnam.
