A FORCE MORE POWERFUL – A DOCUMENTARY

This is part of a documentary on one of the 20th century's most important and least-known stories: how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule in various regions of the world?
Two episodes will be shown:

INDIA – how through civil disobedience and boycotts Gandhi and his followers were successful in loosening their oppressors grip on power and set India on path of freedom from British domination? 

POLAND – how Solidarity (Solidarnosc), an independent union, by using their leverage to negotiate unprecedented rights in a system where there was no power separate from the Communist party, emerged in 1989 as Poland's governing political party?
The film is produced by York Zimmerman Inc.

The discussion will be held by taking into account the global and local objective and subjective conditions which made these nonviolent actions successful.

In conjunction, the discussion will also cover recent episodes of civil disobedience by Armenia's civic activists and highlight the underlying interests behind decisions by Yerevan's municipal authorities.

Thematic presentation by Antranig Bedrossian, MA
