What does the Occupy movement have in common with the Spanish Indignados or the Arab Spring? Is there a connection between the Iranian democracy movement and the Syrian struggle? And what is the link between the Ukrainian topless activists of FEMEN and Egypt? The reasons for the various uprisings in these countries may be diverse, but in their creative nonviolent tactics they are strongly connected. Everyday Rebellion is a documentary and cross-media project celebrating the power and richness of creative nonviolent protest and civil disobedience worldwide.
