Cultures of Resistance. When art beats war
Acclaimed filmmaker Iara Lee embarks on a journey to better understand a world increasingly embroiled in conflict and, as she saw it, heading for self-destruction.
She travels over five continents and encounters growing numbers of people who committ their lives to promoting change.
From Iran, where graffiti and rap became tools in fighting government repression, to Burma, where monks acting in the tradition of Gandhi take on a dictatorship.
Moving on to Brazil, where musicians reach out to slum kids and transform guns into guitars, and ending in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, where photography, music, and film have given a voice to those rarely heard.
