Nicole Rajani A dramatic media and education initiative is actively promoting the power of nonviolent resistance. Presenting stories of successful nonviolent movements around the world, the documentary series explores the triumph of nonviolence as a powerful tool in the struggle for political freedom and human rights. Covering nonviolent movements in the U.S., India, South Africa, Denmark, Poland, and Chile, researchers used material from 50 archives.
Communication is essential for nonviolent action.
The documentary, and the accompanying educational materials and book, will likely serve as an inspiring 'how-to' manual for people around the world struggling for human rights and freedom against oppressive regimes. A high school and college Student Study Guide, designed for classroom use, is available to libraries and schools free of cost. The guide is designed to expand on the series' stories. The 16-page guide contains program synopses, background information, descriptions of nonviolent strategies, maps, timelines, discussion questions, research activities, and resources. An eight page, tabloid-size, Community Resource and Discussion Guide has been designed for informal educational use by both adult and youth groups and is also available free of cost.
