'The global protest movement is growing because activists are learning to tell their own stories, to capture their triumphs on tape, and share them with others around the world. This book is about media that doesn't just cover activism, it is activism, a crucial part of the process of reclaiming public space and communities.'
Naomi Klein, author of No Logo 'This handbook is written by an Undercurrents co-founder and covers not just the 'hows' and 'whats' of video-activism, but also the vital 'why' question. |
