Who Killed Our Children?: The Anatomy of a Protest Film

Chapter Chapter 8 in Natural Disaster and Reconstruction in Asian Economies, 2013, pp 127-143 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Protest is a very complicated subject. Protest can take many forms. Self-immolation can be a kind of protest. Deliberate foot-dragging in the workplace can be a form of protest. Public demonstrations, letter writing, graffiti sprawls, joke telling, production sabotage, and petitioning can constitute protest behavior. One can easily imagine a lively debate about precisely what qualifies as an act of protest. Some modes of protest are inexpensive to mount while others are costly. Some protests occur spontaneously, while others are planned in advance. Is the target of a protest always clear? Whose interests do protestors represent? What are the goals of protestors?
