The People Speak

Join a host of acclaimed writers and actors - including the one and only Viggo Mortensen (The Lord of the Rings, Captain Fantastic), the iconic Vanessa Redgrave (The Devils, Atonement, Mrs Dalloway), Stephen Rea (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire), author Ahmed Masoud, singer-songwriter Miwa Nagato-Apthorp  - for powerful performances of stories, speeches, and songs of protest and rebellion from around the world, and across history. Inspired by the work of people’s historian Howard Zinn and directed by Anthony Arnove (co-editor with Colin Firth of The People Speak), their words shimmer with strength, inspiration, and a vision for a better future. Hosted by Anthony Arnove.
