Please join the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR) and the Center for the Study of Narrative and Conflict Resolution (CNCR) as well as Unrest Magazine for a special fim screening of "How to Start a Revolution" featuring Gene Sharp, author of "From Dictatorship to Democracy: 198 Methods of Nonviolent Action," which has inspired activists from the civil rights movement, conflict resolution practioners and scholars, as well as a new generation of protestors living under authoritarian regimes who yearn for democratic action.
The film, "How to Start a Revolution," reveals how Gene's ideas 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.
