Video is revolutionizing the way we communicate. It's a form of literal expression that everyone can understand, regardless of literacy. Now the affordable camcorder has put this powerful medium into the hands of ordinary people everywhere. And activists have seized this opportunity -- they are using video to change the world. You will see in Video Action how a woman changed an Indiana state law with video; how another activist shut down a huge factory with her camcorder; how two college professors are using video to attack injustices everywhere; how a fisherman in Alaska is fighting to make sure no one forgets the Exxon spill. You will see these stories and others; plus you will learn the basics of activism and learn to get the most out of your camcorder.
