2 welcome velkommen human rights human wrongs The people without guns are winning! Gene Sharp We are proud to present the fourth Human Rights Human Wrongs Documentary Film Festival. Our main guest this year is Gene Sharp, the world s foremost thinker on nonviolence. His idea that nonviolence is more effective than armed struggle is catching on and spreading. With the film How to Start a Revolution and the two events with Gene Sharp we hope to contribute to making nonviolence a recognized strategy, create interesting debates as well as making Gene Sharp a household name. We have selected some of the best documentaries from the last year. Totally we have 13 great films in the program and 40 specially selected International and Norwegian guests to help us create relevant, interesting and engaging discussions. We are deeply grateful and pleased to be working with those who have helped this year s festival become a reality; volunteers, institutions, NGOs, filmmakers and companies. We hope to continue to work with you all to make this festival continue to grow and become a main event in Oslo for open, engaging and relevant discussions about human rights issues. And last but not least inspire action. On behalf of The Human Rights House Oslo, The Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights and Oslo Dokumentarkino; Welcome! Jonathan Borge Lie and Ketil Magnussen 2

3 non-violence works! Meet gene sharp at vika kino february 7 TH Gene Sharp er verdens fremste ikke-voldstenker. Hans skrifter er blitt lest av aksjonister over hele verden, fra Den himmelske freds plass i Beijing i 1989 til Tahrir-plassen i Kairo i dag. Sharp er først og fremst opptatt av at ikke-vold er en strategi som virker. Ansikt til ansikt med undertrykkende regimer og deres voldsapparat så kan protestantene bare lykkes om de er smarte nok til å avstå fra vold. De må stikke hull på befolkningens underkastelse og bygge brede allianser, helst også med folk innen sikkerhetsstyrkene og maktapparatet. Nyere forskning gir støtte til det Sharp alltid har hevdet: protestbevegelser som strategisk og disiplinert benytter seg av ikke-vold lykkes bedre enn de som tyr til våpen. På slutten av 50-tallet bodde Sharp i Oslo, der han lot seg begeistre av den norske læreraksjonen under 2. verdenskrig. Han vender nå tilbake til Oslo for å vise sin takknemlighet over det han lærte her, og han gjør det i en tid da hans tenkning om ikke-vold står sterkere enn noensinne. Gene Sharp is the world s premier nonviolence thinker. His writings have been read by protesters all over the world, from Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989 to Tahrir Square in Cairo today. Sharp s primary occupation is with the simple insight that nonviolence is an effective strategy. Faced with the world s most repressive regimes and their security forces, protesters will only succeed if they are smart enough to abstain from violence. They need to undermine the citizenry s submission to the regime and build broad alliances, preferably also with people within the military and the government apparatus. New research supports Sharp s bold claims: protest movements that strategically engage in nonviolence have higher success rates than those that resort to arms. In the late 1950s, Sharp spent a few years in Oslo, where he was an enthusiastic student of the Norwegian teachers protests during the Second World War. He now returns to Oslo with a wish to express his gratitude for what he learnt here, and he does so at a time when his thinking on nonviolence stands stronger than ever.
