I want to give you a quick update on this post, where I described going to the Boston Film Festival and seeing a wonderful documentary about Gene Sharp.

Sharp is an elderly man in East Boston whose writings on nonviolent revolution have helped to overthrow repressive regimes around the world. The film is not being shown in theaters, so try to catch it tonight on television. It’s at 9 p.m. on the American network Current TV.

In an e-mail, Sharp’s Albert Einstein Institute writes, “Last Tuesday evening, the documentary made its television debut in Australia on public television station SBS Australia. The television station has also made the film available on the station’s website for internet users in Australia. It will continue to be viewable for this limited audience until November 26, 2011.”
