 World Film Festival - Ottawa\n\nPraise for the Film\n\n"While Gandhi gave 
 us the tactics and philosophy of nonviolence, Gene Sharp offers a 
 systematic strategy of civil resistance. Liberation movements across the 
 world are proving that this strategy is effective, even against tyrants. 
 Thanks to Sharp, we can now realistically envision a world without war."\n- 
 Sharon Erickson Nepstad | Author of Nonviolent Revolutions | Professor of 
 Sociology at the University of New Mexico\n\n"A world conquering British 
 documentary"\n- The Daily Telegraph\n\n"Inspirational"\n- The Globe & 
 Mail\n\n"Smart & timely"\n- Time Out\n\n"A vital conversation starter and 
 educational tool for a world awash with violence."\n- The Huffington 
 Post\n\n"A powerful, moving, and beautifully produced film."\n- Robert L. 
 Holmes | Professor Emeritus | University of Rochester\n\n"Will likely 
 challenge and broaden the way people think about the continuing struggle 
 for freedom and constitutional democracy around the world. Indeed, it is 
 rare that a film offers so much to engage with. Unusually provocative and 
 intellectually rigorous, How to Start a Revolution is recommended quite 
 keenly."\n- Libertas Film Magazine\n\n"At last, a film focused solely on 
 Gene Sharp's formidable intellectual influence on historical and 
 contemporary conflicts. A brilliant film celebrating a brilliant man. 
 Bravo!"\n- Erica Chenoweth | University of Denver | Co-author of Why Civil 
 Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict-- \n
