Learn how the wisdom of one man has inspired peaceful revolution across the globe as filmmaker Ruaridh Arrow profiles From Dictatorship to Democracy author Gene Sharp, whose non-violent tactics for toppling dictators have been employed not only in Egypt, but also by protestors throughout Eastern Europe.
