| Although images of wars and other violent events of this century are most familiar to us, nonviolent resistance has been equally important, toppling dictators, foiling military invaders and overcoming oppression everywhere. How nonviolent power has done this - how it has liberated people, established democracy and won human rights - has never been fully revealed on television. Now, a riveting documentary series probes six decisive chapters in the story of nonviolent conflict. The film weaves together these distinct human dramas, showing how nonviolent campaigners on four continents learned from their predecessors and how their courage and their strategies at critical times changed the course of history in Chile, Denmark, Poland, the U.S., South Africa and India. Special Jury Prize, Houston Int'l Film Festival. "Outstanding" - L.A. Times | |||
