Resistance Culture (Songs, Cartoons, Movies, Books and Other Cultural Items Related to Resistance and Protest)
This song, “I’ve Got to Know,” asks the questions that RIGHTS HAWKS wants answered.
More Music, Movies, Books, Art, Poetry, Cartoons, Comedy, and Other Cultural Expressions That Align With Our Movement Will Inspire Us to Work for Change
While we at Rights Hawks know that these cultural aspects of our society will not in themselves bring about the changes we demand, we also understand how important they are to building, inspiring, and maintaining movements.
Leon Uris’ 1958 book Exodus and the 1960 movie based on it are believed to have taken control of the narrative about the Israeli Zionist takeover of Palestine and greatly increased support for the Zionist’s theft of the land. To counter such negative expressions, we need to support strong and influential cultural works on behalf of justice.
Following are some works that might interest you.
