Here is the trailer of a brand new documentary and cross-media project about the power of creative, nonviolent activism and modern civil disobedience (also featuring protest tips!). A project about the various methods of nonviolent resistance, new and old, seen through current movements of the Arabian and Iranian uprisings, as well as former successful and less successful protests but also growing protests such as Occupy Wall Street or the Indignados movement of Spain.Using the most common and creative methods of nonviolent resistance as a narrative guideline through the film, Everyday Rebellion displays the work and life of activists all over the world, who often risk their lives to fight for a better tomorrow.
The film by Arman and Arash T. Riahi is currently in production and is expected to be shown in cinemas end of 2013. The accompanying webseries “Creative Resistance” by ARTE Creative presents every week methods of peaceful protest that are presented by icons of the movements, activists, artists but also by creative users. The project is a tribute to the creativity of the non-violent resistance. Because, as J.R.R. Tolkien similarly claimed, even the smallest action can change the world…
Democracy is like love, you need to do it everyday!
