The Maribor Uprisings: A Live Participatory Film
"In the once prosperous industrial city of Maribor, Slovenia, anger over political corruption became unruly revolt. In "The Maribor Uprisings" — part film, part conversation and part interactive experiment — you are invited to participate in the protests. Dramatic frontline footage from a video activist collective places you in Maribor as crowds surround and ransack City Hall under a hailstorm of tear gas canisters..."
"Politics has taken to the streets. In Maribor, you must decide how you'll participate." [http://mariboruprisings.org/about-1]
