We are ordinary people.

We are like you.

People who have families and friends.

People who work hard every day
to make a living.

People who get up every morning
to study, work or find a job.

Some of us consider ourselves progressive,
others conservative.

Some of us are believers,
some are not.

But we are all concerned and angry

about the political, economic,
and social conditions.

We are anonymous,
but without us none of this would exist

because we move the world.

It's time to change things
and build a better society together.

But contrary to popular belief,
violence is not the most successful method in this struggle.

Hello Maria Angeles, how are you?

I just received the letter from the bank

I have to leave my flat
on the 28th of September.

What do you think?

In addition, they are leaving
me a debt of 200.000 euros.

I don't know what to do.

OK. Thank you. See you.

I've been living here since 2007.

This flat was my life's project.

The beginning of a new
chapter to move on

and to build a life.

Actually a real life project.

But it collapses now,

due to the circumstances
that surround us,

because of an economy
that destroys us.

The priorities of any advanced society
must be equality, progress,

solidarity, freedom of culture,
sustainability and development,

welfare, and the people's happiness.

There are irrevocable rights
which we should uphold in our society:

the right to housing, employment,
culture, health, education,

political participation,
free personal development,

and consumer rights
for a healthy and happy life.

Last year, only three cities participated.

Now we have nine, with New Zealand.
How good.

Will you have time to
come to the demonstration?

I don't think so.
- Why?

I have many things to do.

Only few people of your age
are involved.

I don't know if they just don't know
what is going on, what lies ahead.

A bourgeoise society that can't
live without labels, shopping,

beers, going out for dinner
- We have become very lazy.

Yes, but this is coming to an end.

Push ahead, beauty. Hurry up!
We won't be here forever.

They are offering you a very dark future.

MADRID, SPAIN

The evictions are marking the Spanish crisis.

In Madrid alone,
there are around 8O a day.

A delay
of today's eviction
would be a miracle.

This is not a solution!

Threatening to jump out the window,

was the only thing this girl could do
to try to avoid the eviction of her mum.

Let's remember the assembly signs:
This means agreement, support.

That way we won't interrupt the person
who is talking, and we nod.

Disagreement with an idea
goes like this.

We reject ideas,
not people.

Our plan, apart from collecting
signatures in various places,

is to inform people about the assembly.

Maybe some people don't know where we meet,
or that the assembly even exists.

Or they just don't join because they think
we don't propose interesting things.

We don't need a military coup.

Our simple alternative is to
support the assembly meetings.

If the assembly grows and becomes stronger,

and gets significant involvement of the society,
it will be stronger than any political party.

Even if the law stands in its way.

And the reality of the public will change.

As the slogan says:
"We were asleep, now we woke up."

We know we will get far,
that's why we move slowly.

We realized that we
must change this world.

Because the possibility of
making it better exists.

We are talking about politics in the streets again.
This was unthinkable one year ago.

It's a big achievements
of the 15M Movement.

MARIA ANGELES
Retiree

How are you?
- Fine!

I don't think we can give up.
We have to try.

We have to fight, and
there are people willing to help you.

This is already working.

We collect signatures in the neighborhood,
that's the way we do it.

And then you go to the bank and tell them:
Look, this is what we have.

This man has all these people behind him,
who are against his eviction.

The bank doesn't want all these
people to think they are a soulless bank,

which will evict all these people.
- It's negative propaganda.

We put banners
all around the neighborhood.

If the neighbors know what's going on,
more people will help you.

Those new offers from the banks are lies,
and won't solve your problems.

If you are weak, they will eat you.

In Iran, the only thing
that's left of freedom is a tower.

And even that has
many cracks already.

You might want to know who I am?

I'm the voice of all those,
who weren't allowed to talk freely for years.

It seems as if nothing has happened here.
Everything is quiet, and we are all silent.

Looks as if we've never had
a protest march of millions.

And no one ever had to go to prison.

After our protests during the
manipulated elections in 2009

we were called the source of riots and chaos,
puppets of the West, useless scum.

Many activists fled Iran.

Taking part in public demonstrations meant
prison, torture, and execution.

But we found other ways
to continue our protests.

Less risky ways that helped us to show
the regime that we are still here.

But I don't know who she is.

I am at Natasha's place. She's a very nice girl
and not a KGB agent or someone like that.

Natasha is going to show her tits soon,
in one of our next Femen campaigns.

Maybe I'll do that, but not so soon.

Let's do it together.

I'm alive thanks to Natasha

They do everything for the pictures
and the provocation.

If we started to arrest them
during their protests,

someone could film it and use
it against me. No need for that.

You just need to wait for the right
moment to catch them.

Otherwise they will just put this picture
on the internet, and millions will see it.

So they appeared once,
but they won't do it again.

Take care! I want to thank you,
you helped me a lot!

I didn't know where else to go.

I want you to be healthy
and continue what you do.

That you continue to show your
boobs and your tattoo

That you all get along well,
and that you're lucky!

I love you, come back soon!

DAMASCUS, SYRIA
Damascus speaking. A message from the people.

We are the boys and girls
of the revolution for freedom and peace.

We strongly call
for the resignation of Bashar al-Assad.

He should hand over the power
to the Syrian people immediately.

We assure you that we won't stop
the peaceful revolutionary movement...

until our demands are answered.

We want freedom.

We want justice,
and a civil society.

Long live Syria!

The idea was that the speech and the resistance
song "Mawtini" should reach all of Damascus,

to show the people that the will to
nonviolence was still alive in the youth.

We planned to do much more,
and be more effective.

But each time we worked on a project,
the authorities showed up.

I feel that it's really difficult
to be a stranger.

I refuse to define myself as a refugee.

I am a Syrian revolutionary.

SYRIAN REFUGEE CAMPS, JORDAN

AHMED Z.
Architect

Once, a friend of mine
came to me in a café.

He had the idea to color the water
of the fountains of Damascus,

to symbolize the bloodshed in Syria.

Damascus is bleeding

The government found it odd.

They had to shut down
all fountains in Damascus

in order to change the water.

People really liked the idea and we got
amazing response from the streets.

Colored red,
symbolic for the blood of the dead.

People haven't realized that these social movements
are formed by all kinds of people.

I'm not fighting for myself, my health, my education,
my social conditions, but for everyone.

A government that does not
defend its society, its own people

is a fucking government!

Why don't we join together?

Don't pay the mortgage for one month.

They won't take your home for just one month.
In one month we can destroy them.

Or two days without consuming petrol.

We can destroy them
if we get together.

If I were the president...
and I want everyone to hear this!

If I were president,
I'd send foreigners back to their countries.

- But why?
- To give jobs to Spanish people!

I would give the same
conditions to everybody.

- I would really do it!
- But it's not the immigrants fault!

- Whose fault is it?

So it's the immigrants fault
that the Spanish have no jobs?

I didn't say that.
You didn't understand me.

Anyway, I no longer give a shit.

What's happening here?
You don't let me work! I'm poor!

Two months ago I was in Stockholm.

Do you know how many Spanish there
are in the same situation like us?

Many.
- Yes, many.

Listen! They asked me:
"Why don't you go back to your fucking country?"

I said: "Because I can't eat
in my fucking country, so I have to leave!"

This is not only a problem of Spain.
It's a world-wide problem.

Where is the actual power?
With the people, not with the politicians!

It's not there.

But the people forgot that.
- It's the people!

We have the obligation
to reclaim this power.

How many have signed
the "dacién en page"?

So the bank forgives your mortgage
debt when you lose your house.

Are you all willing to lose your homes?

How many of you
participated in demonstrations?

Just to make them bigger?
How many of you?

Oh, come on!

You know what to do, get informed!

Every district has an assembly
and we can do things.

All districts can do things.
All of them.

We need an ethical revolution.

Instead of placing money
above human beings,

we shall put it back to our service.

We are people, not products.

I'm not a product of what I buy,
why I buy, and who I buy from.

I'm outraged at all this.

I think I can change it.

I think I can help.

I know that together we can.

Join us!
You have the right to.

The social peace is going to end.

Today a woman
committed suicide in Barakaldo.

She jumped out of the window
because she was going to be evicted.

It's the third case of death
in less than a month

in connection with judicial procedures
dealing with the non-payment of mortgage.

A ruling of the General Lawyer
of the European Court of Justice asserts

that the Spanish Eviction Law infringes
on the regulations of the European Union.

The idea is that

I give up the flat voluntarily.

We don't know if it will
work this way or not.

We are working with the platform
to achieve the "dacién en page."

Which is most important

so I am forgiven the debt.

If we achieve the cancellation of debt,
I will give up the flat, if not

we will refuse
to give up the flat.

Freedom for political prisoners!

I continued with small acts of resistance,
and knew that I wasn't alone.

With their hidden protests many people showed
that you cannot kill the people's thoughts.

Welcome, dear friends.

I want to show you a method
of putting posters on the walls.

You turn the paper over
and use a candle or something else.

Using this method,
the poster will roll down automatically

a few minutes after you left the location.

Take a look now.

A good day will come when we do not kill each other.
When we won't look at each other badly.

We will all be friends and walk
with our arms on each others shoulders.

Just like our childhood in grade school.

None of us will be left without a role
in the building and development of Iran.

In order not to become tired,
I will place the mortar and you the cement.

After all the rain of blood
a rainbow will be seen.

Here are balloons.
Do you have a hand pump for these?

I hope they won't burst while inflating.

This one's good.

Those?
- Is it for children?

Yes, it's for children who have nothing.
There is nothing around them.

There is no library or anything.
- They are in the refugee camp?

Yes, the Syrian refugee camp.

No way, not this one.

We don't want people to be confronted
with this kind of stuff again.

It's important that this
generation learns about peace.

They shouldn't oppress others,
nor play war games.

But they only see this.

I agree, but this is exactly the reason
they fled from Syria.

They fled because of the violence, the attacks,
and the problems these things implicate.

But they are kids, and it's only a game.
- No, it's not only a game.

It teaches children violence.

We can give them more beautiful things.
- That's nice, but I'm not sure

We don't want the kids to play with that!
- What about waterpistols?

Even in times of peace,
children like to play with them.

No, even if it's only waterpistols.

We want to break this kind of culture!

I don't care if people fled from
the Syrian military or the armed groups.

It's none of my business.

I see them as human beings
and I try to help them.

I would take money from the devil
to help the refugees.

I want to tell you so many
stories from Syria...

We wanted to distribute flyers,
which was pretty difficult.

So we hid flyers in balloons
and put helium inside.

That way we could add ideas,
short messages, or the Syrian flag.

The groups used different methods
to let the balloons explode.

One of them took a hairclip
and a piece of ice.

When the ice has melted,
the balloon explodes, and the flyers fall down.

These campaigns
distressed the government a lot.

They couldn't catch them,
and they didn't know how to respond.

We used many ideas
from Gene Sharp's book.

Gene Sharp's book is about
tactics of non-violent resistance.

We got ping-pong balls, painted them in purple,
and wrote "freedom" and other words on them.

We throw them out
on streets of Mahajreen.

The balls started to jump around.
This was close to Bashar's house.

The security people ran
around and tried to catch the balls.

It was hilarious to look at them.
We roared with laughter.

Hey, Iranian, your dog is saying
goodbye to you, listen!

He's falling, but he still spoils himself.
You will fall, Bashar. You will fall.

We don't need the NATO,
we are going to get him at his house.

If he just knew what
revolutionary means.

You will fall, Bashar!

Putin Dictator!

BRAZIL

Did you see the last demonstration,
where police infiltrated the protest?

What do you think?

Amazing.
-Wicked.

It's obvious in the videos:

The undercover cops bother the police.
The police reacts,

and then they push people
towards the police vans.

Amazing.

A teacher from the university
saw them and sent an email, saying:

"Look how stupid they were
to all wear the same boots!"

But it's not funny.

No, it's not funny at all.

"Infiltrators! Infiltrators!"

"I'm one of you

"I told you I'm one of you!"

This video is another proof of police
infiltrating the protesting mass.

This protester begging the police not to hit him
is actually an undercover policeman.

If we notice any strange
behaviour leading to violent actions,

we try to calm the people down.

We stop them
before they get violent

without taking any physical risks ourselves.

If this doesn't work out,

we will move away
from the violent individuals.

We sit on the floor in silence,
and we point at them.

We need many participants
to get the attention of even more people.

We will tell the security
forces about the situation.

Once the situation is back to normal,

we will stand up and
shout "No violence!"

And in the end, we all applaud.

If the police stopped
the violent action,

they should get the applause.

A few days ago, I watched the trials
of the Iran Tribunal in The Hague on the internet.

Exiled witnesses and victims worked
five years to organize this symbolic trial.

It was one of the biggest nonviolent
protest campaigns in exile in the last years.

THE HAGUE, THE NETHERLANDS
October 2012

I was new, and my cell mates told me
the prison guards were just bluffing

and would let you go when you answer with "Yes".

One day, the guard
came in and called me.

I went forward.

He asked me if I had signed my confession.
I said: "Yes".

He asked me if I would execute someone, if
the court decided that this person had to be killed.

I said: "Yes".

Are you able to continue?

Or should we take a break.
- No!

It has been over 27 years now
that I have these images in my head.

I want to talk about it.

Then the order to shoot came, and...

and we shot.

All the corpses where lying around us.

Then one of them started to
shoot, and finished them off.

He shot so many times
the shooting lasted 15 minutes, at least.

I had gone fishing only once,
during my adolescence.

And all my life I've had a bad
conscience about killing that one fish.

Now they had forced me to kill someone,
whose only crime was his fight for freedom.

I took part in his killing.

And this is a feeling that
I'll have to bear my whole life.

Executions are taking place
in Iran right now.

We dealt with a small part of the crimes
and we must continue this now.

Our beloved ones
did not die.

Their dreams are alive and
became a people's movement.

Bashar al-Assad, Maher al-Assad,

Maher al-Assad says: "Let's throw down 5.000 Lira,
and 5.000 people will be happy."

Rami Machlouf says:
"10.000 Lira and 10.000 people will be happy."

Bashar al-Assad says:
"No, 500 Lira and 500 people will be happy."

Finally, the pilot says: "I'll throw you three out,
and 23 million people will be happy."

With a weapon I might
achieve my goals faster.

But in the end I will lose,
because a bullet is made to kill.

But the word I say

or the graffities, the balloons

or the flowers I give to a policeman.
They might not bring fast solutions.

And that policeman,
if he didn't arrest or kill me,

might not be affected instantly.

But he'll go home
and show the flower to his family.

This will cause a reaction.

We are not afraid.

The mountains are covered with tulips,
the tulips are alive

planting the sun in the mountains,
flower by flower by flower.

The heart of the fighter
is alive in the mountains

...he is bringing a gun,
flowers and wheat.

In his heart he has a forest of stars...

at our brothers and sisters throats.

We are still here.

But if we had a united voice
we would reach our goal faster.

this is illegal.

Finally, thanks to the pressure

Juan Carlos has two more months
to convince the bank not to take his flat.

I am really grateful for all this.

We'll keep on fighting.
Everyday, not only for me, but for everybody.

We will continue the struggle.
This system must be changed somehow

We have new forms of demonstrations, which
come from different parts of the country.

Each crowd moves towards the center.

The assemblies
welcome the marches

coming from the East,
West, North or South.

It looks very nice
because it grows, like a river.

Then the people march together,
towards the end of a demonstration.
