Global Uprisings is an independent news site and video series dedicated to showing responses to the economic crisis and the crisis of legitimacy facing governance at this historical juncture.
Brandon Jourdan and Marianne Maeckelbergh have been researching and making short films about the recent wave of uprisings that have spread across the globe. Their short films and articles detail social movements in Turkey, Portugal, Spain, Greece, the UK, the US, and Egypt. These films and articles cover the riots, demonstrations and occupations in the UK, large-scale housing occupations and demonstrations in Spain, massive and continuous general strikes, and self-reduction campaigns in Greece, the ongoing revolution in Egypt, the occupy movements within the United States, the wave of strikes occurring in Portugal, and the recent country-wide revolt against Prime Minister Erdogan in Turkey.
Throughout the project, they have also collaborated with collectives and media makers such as the Mosireen collective, Grit TV, Deep Dish TV, Big Noise Films, Democracy Now, and David Martinez.
