The strategic value of a "dilemma action" when confronting a repressive regime


In 2000, Ivan Marovic and his friends led a non-violent uprising which successfully toppled Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic.

In 2011, Marovic came to the Narco News School of Authentic Journalism as a professor where he taught participants from dozens of countries the strategic value of a "dilemma action" when confronting a repressive regime.

Students and professors from the school's Viral Video work group, including Nathan Mpangala, Katie Halper, Daryn Cambridge, Leslie Askew, Kevin Mwachiro and Maria Dayton produced this video. It proves that civil resistance (and reporting about it) can and should be fun!

The artist's hand and artwork that appear on this video are those of Tanzanian political cartoonist Nathan Mpangala, School of Authentic Journalism, class of 2011.
