Divided We Fall:
Films on Power and Union

In one of his frequently quoted speeches, nineteenth-century writer, orator, abolitionist, and former slave Frederick Douglass observed that “If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground.” This loose-knit collection of recent films takes a broad look at the initiatives of individuals who have banded together in the hope of improving their lives and the lives of others. Collectively, they offer a human portrait of the nature of social struggle witnessed in different parts of the world, from the streets of Belgrade (The Making of the Revolution) to our own Harvard Yard (Occupation).
