The Arab World in Revolution(s)

"The Arab world in revolution(s)" is a resource of ARTE, a European public-service cultural television channel, that intends to capture the change in Arab countries, often called the "Arab Spring", as "a unique moment in history" and give Arab people a voice. It is a long-term cross-media project in which all ARTE media group's radio, television, and web programme units contribute to a common effort to create a platform with different linear and non-linear media outputs.

The following compilations are available online:

• Generation Revolution – Paving the way for freedom, a video series, that "goes out to meet the men and women who have shaken up and revolutionized the Arab world, seen by so many as bogged down in nepotism, corruption and the unyielding control of religion. Six months after the revolution in the Arab World began, Generation Revolution retraces the paths of freedom. From the Maghreb to the Machrek, ARTE, in association with What’s up productions, goes out to meet the people and share their combat for freedom. A journey lasting several months through countries that succeeded in getting rid of their dictators, those that are trying to do so and those that are gradually slipping into civil war (March 2011-March 2012)."
• Generation Revolution - Everyday Rebellion portraits - "another character driven video series. The portraits are realized by the same film-makers as for the documentary “Everyday Rebellion” (aired on ARTE in 2013). It’s all about the power of the peaceful protests and the new forms of civil disobedience in a time of global upheaval. Up to ten portraits will be published till beginning 2013."
• Journal 2.0 - complementary content - interviews, blogs, analysed articles,  caricatures, etc.
