A Whisper to a Roar

French philosopher Voltaire once cautioned, “It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.” As the powerful new documentary "A Whisper to a Roar" demonstrates, Voltaire’s warning has never been truer than it is today. Directed by Ben Moses and inspired by the work of renowned democracy scholar and author Larry Diamond, the film spotlights the perilous plight of pro-democracy activists in five countries as they mobilize against authoritarian governments that have been very wrong, in some cases for a very long time.
