Videos
A Force More Powerful is an excellent video series features six half-hour segments on successful nonviolent struggles around the world. It was broadcast on the Public Broadcasting System in 2000. Created by the same producers, Bringing Down a Dictator (2002) is a video about the nonviolent campaign that ended Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic’s tyrannical regime in 2000 is also a powerful depiction of a successful nonviolent movement for change step-by-step. For both see: www.aforcemorepowerful.org.
Richard Attenborough’s full-length motion picture Gandhi is also a must see.
