On the barricades...

a global Metropolis broadcast

In 2010, Metropolis TV, a long term Hivos partner made a round across the globe to report on citizen protests. The result: a rich collection of inspiring short documentaries ranging from the long struggle by a group of Nicaraguans claiming prize-money from Coca-cola to the earth-scooter protesting against pollution in China.

The upshot in light of the changing face of citizen action: Some of the most interesting forms of citizen action are found outside of the limelight and involve local struggles seemingly so hard to win. Yet that's precisely why we found these stories so inspiring. Watch the full documentary below, or pick and choose from the reports here
