“Ten Documentaries On Champions of Social Justice”
Social activism has always been a popular subject for documentarians because it presents stories of both cause and characters. The 10 powerful films below are not a complete list of films about social activists, but certainly proof enough that social change is possible, even under the most challenging conditions.

Judith’s upcoming doc…
Check out this article by Michael Fox on SF360 about Judith Ehrlich’s upcoming project on Iceland and the future of free speech: “Iceland: The Mouse that Roared”.
Judith Ehrlich was quick to leap at the idea of a documentary about WikiLeaks honcho Julian Assange. Too quick, it turned out. “I pitched it to HBO in June [2010] and no one had ever heard of him,” recalled the co-director (with Rick Goldsmith) of The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, the Academy Award-nominated doc about another famous whistleblower. Then U.S. soldier Bradley Manning was busted and placed in solitary confinement for allegedly supplying classified information to WikiLeaks. “By summer, when I came back, lots of people knew about [Assange],” Ehrlich wryly observed. “In the meantime, lots of people got on the story.”
