but there are times that you say,

"Okay, it doesn't matter anymore.

Even if I die, I'm just gonna say that I'm angry."

- How do people protest in your country?

The highlight of 2019 events in Lebanon,

the October Revolution.

(crowd chanting in foreign language)

- A major protest in our country is the 2011 revolution.

- The Gezi protests.

- Black Lives Matter movement.

- Say No to Brexit March.

- It started because they raised the price of the subway.

- The gas price tripled over night.

- The death of George Floyd.

- It started as a small protest about saving the nature

and all that stuff, but turned into a protest

against all the things

that the current government stands for.

- We still have the same constitution

that was created during the dictatorship.

- The Anti-Terror Law.

It is a untimely and unjust law.

It has major basic human rights concerns.

Giving so much power to the government.

- We do have anti-government protests every Friday.

- I still can't believe what I saw in the streets.

Police cruelty.

1,500 people were killed.

- I haven't been involved in any protests in Nigeria

because whenever a protest happens,

it is faced with a lot of negativity by the government

and it leads to a lot of injuries and death.

- A lot of us don't protest in my country

because we are scared of death.

- The police are putting tear gas and drugs,

beating the protestors.

If a police is accused of a crime,

they just sweep it under the carpet

and pretend it didn't happen.

- Police in Long Beach, California are corrupt.

They buy the city councilmen and it needs to stop.

We're gonna start holding them accountable.

And we're gonna take away their qualified immunity

here in Long Beach, California.

- This is the first time I've been a part

of the Black Lives Matter movement.

(protestors chant)

- These police have a lack of training.

There's a lack of diversity.

There's a lack of connection to the community.

And it shows.

We see a lot of unarmed killings of black men

because they fear black men.

- Watching everybody come together,

it could change somebody's heart.

- I live in Marble Falls, Texas.

We are predominately a white population.

We're not somehow void of this issue.

- It's not a problem just of America.

Black Lives Matter.

- Black Lives Matter.

Trans Lives Matter.

Trans Black Lives Matter.

- How do people protest in your country?

The famous protest I think here in Mexico

is about asking for women rights.

- There's a lot of homicides towards women in Mexico.

And the police doesn't really do much about it.

- It's scary to not be able to go out

and knowing for sure that you're going

to come back home.

- Last year a major protest happened.

They were trying to pass a bill that was pro victim blaming.

Like the victim of rape,

they also have a possibility to go to prison.

- I'm fighting for women's rights.

I am fighting for LGBTQA+ community rights.

(protestors chant in Spanish)

(person chants in Spanish).

Judicial power is a shame for the nation.

- In my city when the pride parades took place,

there was very much violence present.

People were severely injured and beaten up.

Everyone who had LGBT marks on their body,

like rainbow socks for example was in danger

and could've been attacked.

- The most common way to protest in China

is report to the official authorities.

We don't have parades now.

- How do people protest in Australia?

I've attended the school strike for climate change.

Like there is so much science there,

why are the politicians not listening?

- One way to claim the government's attention

is by doing schools and universities (indistinct).

- People protest on Twitter.

Twitter is very powerful.

- Riots are pretty much what got us where we are

in the democracy.

It's what escalated the negotiations

between the National Party and the current party, ANC.

Unfortunately, we as citizens are just not heard

by our leaders.

Corruption and looting is seemingly way more important

to them than our livelihood.

- I don't usually go to protests

because I really don't like places with a lot of people

and a lot of noise and a lot of music.

I don't really like it.

But then we go with my sign.

Mine says (speaks in Spanish) which means,

"This angers me."

The point is that we show the government

that we are in control.

And it shows that it can work.

- Thanks to the protests now we have the opportunity

to vote for a new constitution.

- We managed to kick our president from the country

and we won freedom of speech.

- I mean, we've lost the battle.

We're gonna leave the EU come of May.

None of the protesting that we've done

seemed to have made any difference to that.

- What the protest movement proved

is that people can really be together.

It was very much decentralized.

It wasn't only exclusive to Beirut and it's outskirts.

There was such a unification element into it.

- We never thought that we could achieve

something like this.

It only shows that protesting is the only way.

If you don't fight, things will remain the same.

We are going to keep fighting.

Nothing can stop us now.
