About How to start a revolution - Trailer

Is Gene Sharp a prophet of non-violence, or a CIA agent? His From Dictatorship to Democracy is certainly one of the most read books in the world, translated in more than 40 languages and downloadable free from the Internet. In a short span of time, this manual has become a guide for many movements that took a stand against dictatorships. Inspired from Sharp’s advice, ‘colourful’ revolutions have taken place in the Ukraine as well as Iran, Egypt, and Indonesia, leaving the past behind and stepping into the future.
