Revealing patterns in the worldwide struggle for democracy, this impassioned documentary hops back and forth between five case studies: Egypt, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Malaysia, and Venezuela.
In each authoritarian regime, the existence of injustice gives rise to dissident leaders who are then repressed and martyred. These outrages break "the barrier of apathy," sparking mass demonstrations that demand fair elections. Success, viewers learn from archival footage and interviews with key players, depends not on any single hero, but on "the conscience of the majority" and "the responsibility everyone must assume for their country." Warning: disturbing footage.
