The people without guns are winning! – Gene Sharp
2
We are proud to present the fourth Human
Rights Human Wrongs Documentary Film Festival.
Our main guest this year is Gene Sharp, the
world’s foremost thinker on nonviolence. His idea
that nonviolence is more effective than armed
struggle is catching on and spreading. With the
film How to Start a Revolution and the two events
with Gene Sharp we hope to contribute to making nonviolence a recognized strategy, create
interesting debates as well as making Gene Sharp
a household name.
We have selected some of the best documentaries
from the last year. Totally we have 13 great films in
the program and 40 specially selected International and Norwegian guests to help us create relevant,
interesting and engaging discussions.
We are deeply grateful and pleased to be working
with those who have helped this year’s festival
become a reality; volunteers, institutions, NGOs,
filmmakers and companies. We hope to continue
to work with you all to make this festival continue
to grow and become a main event in Oslo for open,
engaging and relevant discussions about human
rights issues. And last but not least inspire action.
On behalf of The Human Rights House Oslo, The
Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights and
Oslo Dokumentarkino; Welcome!

Sharp er først og fremst opptatt av at ikke-vold er
en strategi som virker. Ansikt til ansikt med undertrykkende regimer og deres voldsapparat så kan
protestantene bare lykkes om de er smarte nok til
å avstå fra vold. De må stikke hull på befolkningens
underkastelse og bygge brede allianser, helst også
med folk innen sikkerhetsstyrkene og maktapparatet. Nyere forskning gir støtte til det Sharp alltid
har hevdet: protestbevegelser som strategisk og
disiplinert benytter seg av ikke-vold lykkes bedre
enn de som tyr til våpen. På slutten av 50-tallet
bodde Sharp i Oslo, der han lot seg begeistre av
den norske læreraksjonen under 2. verdenskrig.
Han vender nå tilbake til Oslo for å vise sin takknemlighet over det han lærte her, og han gjør det i
en tid da hans tenkning om ikke-vold står sterkere
enn noensinne.
Gene Sharp is the world’s premier nonviolence
thinker. His writings have been read by protesters
all over the world, from Tiananmen Square in
Beijing in 1989 to Tahrir Square in Cairo today.
Sharp’s primary occupation is with the simple
insight that nonviolence is an effective strategy.
Faced with the world’s most repressive regimes
and their security forces, protesters will only
succeed if they are smart enough to abstain from
violence. They need to undermine the citizenry’s
submission to the regime and build broad alliances, preferably also with people within the military
and the government apparatus. New research
supports Sharp’s bold claims: protest movements
that strategically engage in nonviolence have
higher success rates than those that resort to
arms. In the late 1950s, Sharp spent a few years in
Oslo, where he was an enthusiastic student of the
Norwegian teachers’ protests during the Second
World War. He now returns to Oslo with a wish to
express his gratitude for what he learnt here, and
he does so at a time when his thinking on nonviolence stands stronger than ever.

Gene Sharp er verdens fremste ikke-voldstenker.
Hans skrifter er blitt lest av aksjonister over hele
verden, fra Den himmelske freds plass i Beijing i
1989 til Tahrir-plassen i Kairo i dag.

Menneskerettigheter; ikke for alle?
Norge har en svært rigid holdning til papirløse
flyktninger som ikke får oppholdstillatelse. En rekke
europeiske land har gitt papirløse med langt opphold i landet amnesti, mens man i Norge har nektet å se etter løsninger, men heller har akkumulert
en stor gruppe mennesker som lever så og si uten
rettigheter.
Emanuel er afrikaner og analfabet, og han er
papirløs asylsøker i Norge. Emanuel er fanget i
en limbo-tilværelse. Han kan ikke bli, men heller
ikke reise.
