Ruaridh Arrow discusses film How to Start a Revolution. The most dangerous threat to the world's dictators is a soft-spoken, 83-year-old man named Gene Sharp. This BAFTA award-winning, revelatory documentary focuses on strategies and tactics outlined in Sharp's extensive writing on effective nonviolent action, including his book From Dictatorship to Democracy: A Conceptual Framework for Liberation. His writings have served as a blueprint among anti-authoritarian revolts from Eastern Europe to the Arab Spring, offering proof that nonviolent direct action is the most effective weapon against totalitarian regimes. This program is part of People Power, a film series that explores successful grassroots political movements around the world.
