A Force More Powerful (Santa Monica Pictures, 1999, NR)

Explores how popular movements battled entrenched regimes and military forces with weapons very different from guns and bullets, non-violent resistance. The three hour documentary series recounts Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign against the British in India; the sit-ins and boycotts that desegregated downtown Nashville, Tennessee; the nonviolent campaign against apartheid in South Africa; Danish resistance to the Nazis in World War II; the rise of Solidarity in Poland; and the momentous victory for democracy in Chile. It also introduces several extraordinary, but largely unknown individuals who drove these great events forward.
