Travel the globe through this liberating documentary that will introduce you to political activists of all ages, colors, and cultures. Though the film covers an array of different methods used to get the people's messages across, the underlying theme is art as a weapon of peace. Through hip-hop, dance, photography, cartoons, and poetry, those who are oppressed communicate their injustices and strive to coexist in a world where freedom remains not something they are given, but rather something they must take.
