"Marguerite La Caze boldly and lucidly explores different variations on non-violence and its methods of resistance through film, navigating the diverse terrain of documentary and dramatic film, global political acts and their respective historical accounts. This is an excellent addition to the interrelated areas of politics and film-philosophy.”—Kelli Fuery, Chapman University   “Interweaving theory and philosophy through close analysis of a range of films in writing that is clear and engaging, La Caze brings to bear a multitude of perspectives and a range of compelling arguments, handling each with ease.”—Richard Rushton, Lancaster University
