In the year 2000, in a war barely noticed outside Yugoslavia, the indicted war criminal Slobodan Milosevic fought to hold power. He controlled a battle-hardened army, a tough police force, and most of the news media. But he underestimated his opponents, led by a student movement called Otpor! (‘resistance’), who attacked the regime with ridicule, rock music, and a willingness to be arrested. Their courage and audacity inspired others to overcome their fear and join the fight.

Bringing Down a Dictator tells the story of the students of Otpor!, their courage, their creativity, and their tactics. Join AYCC and Tomorrow Movement for a screening of the inspiring film, followed by a discussion on the tactics and organising skills used by the students. 

This event is open to anyone.
