"How to Start a Revolution" is the remarkable untold story of Nobel Peace prize nominee Gene Sharp, the world's leading expert on nonviolent revolution. This award-winning feature documentary, from the first-time director Ruaridh Arrow, reveals how Sharp's work has given a new generation of pro-democracy leaders the nonviolent weapons they need to overthrow dictators. It shows how his book "From Dictatorship to Democracy" has inspired uprisings from Serbia to Iran and from Egypt to Syria and how his work has spread across the globe in an unstoppable wave of profound democratic change.

The film explores how one man's thinking has contributed to the liberation of millions of oppressed people living under some of the most brutal dictatorships in the world and how his work threatens tyrants and their regimes through civil disobedience and nonviolent direct action.

"How to Start a Revolution" is the story of the power of people to change their world, the modern revolution, and the man behind it all.
