How to Start a Revolution is a multi award winning documentary following the work of 2012 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Gene Sharp, the world's foremost expert on nonviolent action. BAFTA award-winning director Ruaridh Arrow follows the use of Gene Sharp's work by democracy activists from the streets of Serbia and the jungles of Burma to Tahrir Square and the Arab Spring.

This ground-breaking app is a touch activated documentary embedding analysis, extra video and satellite mapping. This app also includes *free* four of Gene Sharp's key books including his famous work, From Dictatorship to Democracy, described as a handbook for revolutionaries. For the first time, the iPad brings together an award winning film and books which have helped nonviolent activists change the world. Integration with Gene Sharp's Albert Einstein Institution website provides hundreds of pages of additional readings and case studies.

A Revolution Monitor fuses mapping technology with curated Twitter streams from more than 40 countries. Viewers simply touch a country to follow revolutions in real time and even interact with the activists involved. Tweeted articles, blogs and video are displayed instantly creating a live stream of activist generated news by location.

Part educational resource, part immersive experience - this app is an essential toolbox of resources for activists and all those interested in democracy and the abolition of violent conflict.
