Take One Action Opening Night: Everyday Rebellion

Everyday Rebellion
Dir. Arman & Arash T. Riahi, Austria/Switzerland/Germany, 2013, 110m, UK Premiere.

“If you want to defeat a boxer, challenge him to a game of chess.”

From London, Ukraine and Syria, to the US, Iran and Spain, hailing the revolutionary spirit of clowns, music, ping pong and the human body, Everyday Rebellion is a moving and playful celebration of the triumph of creativity over repression, and a vibrant reminder that power must always give way to humanity.

Guided by evidence that non-violence is twice as effective as violence in creating change, millions of people are dropping their fists and adopting peaceful tactics to resist blind power – from boardrooms to market squares. Conceived as part of a cross-media project on non-violence, this panoramic how-to protest guide vividly demonstrates that the future of civil disobedience has never looked brighter.
