Democracy is like love. You need to do it everday.

In 2013, people all over the world were expressing their discontent about the fatal relationships between business, politics, power and excess. But what do »Occupy«, the Spanish »Indignados« or the »Arab Spring« have in common? What does the democracy movement in Iran have in common with the struggle in Syria? Where are the points of contact between the Ukrainian topless activists of »Femen« and the opposition protests in Egypt? The reasons for the protest are very different in every country, but the creative non-violent tactics are very similar and inspire each other in surprising, often highly humorous, critically witty ways. Everyday Rebellion, a film by Arash and Arman T. Riahi, is a multi-layered, stirring homage to the strength and power inherent in civil disobedience around the world.
