commented on a project updateThanks for your comments. We have sent out over 400 DVDs to more than 20 countries in the past month. We left a reasonable time after posting to account for any delivery delays and now that time has passed we are asking people to tell us if they have not received it so that we can attempt redelivery as soon as possible. If you have not received the DVD Please personal message us your address if you do not want your address to be public. Best wishes, Ruaridh

Posted project update #19BAFTA Scotland and DVDs
Dear Kickstarters,
We're incredibly proud to have picked up a Scottish BAFTA last Thursday at the Scottish BAFTA New Talent awards. This is an incredible honour for a first film and we'd like to thank you again for your fantastic support which made this possible.
This week we were nominated for a Golden Butterfly, Amnesty International's award for the most politically important film of the year, hosted at The Hague in The Netherlands. The winning film was "5 Broken Cameras" which is an incredible story about nonviolent resistance in Palestine. As ever, films about the conflict in this region are controversial and stir strong emotions but It was incredible just to be in the same category as this film and I'd urge everyone to take a look.
All of you should now have received a DVD copy of How to Start a Revolution if you have donated in the required gift category. There were a few unreadable or corrupted addresses so if you have not received a copy please let me know with your current address so we can get one out to you as soon as possible. T-Shirts and posters will be arriving soon.
Best wishes,
Ruaridh and Richard

Posted project update #16How to Start a Revolution Screenings
Dear friends,
Please find below an updated list of forthcoming screenings of How to Start a Revolution. Let me know if you are a Kickstarter donor and are able to attend any of these. We should be able to arrange you a free ticket!
I'm sorry the DVDs are still taking longer than expected to despatch. All European and rest of of world (outside US and Canada) have been mailed and should arrive within the next few days. There has been a production problem with the NTSC version which affects North America and a number of other countries. If you are in an NTSC area you should receive the DVD within the next 10 days. I can only apologise again for the delays.
If you can, please do try to see the film on the big screen at one of these fantastic venues
tell your friends and follow us on twitter @genesharpfilm and "like" the facebook page for news and pictures http://www.facebook.com/howtostartarevolution
Best wishes,

To approach one's twilight years and experience after a lifetime's work the kind of recognition that this photo illustrates must be an immensely rewarding experience.

commented on a projectDear all, I'm sorry it has been so long since our last update. The success of the film has meant that the festival tour has been non-stop for months now and unfortunately I have had no team to help with the important work of getting the gifts out. I'm pleased to say that after several serious delays the DVDs are finally here and I'm now sitting on my bed writing notes to as many of you as I can before I leave for the Human Rights Human Wrongs Festival in Oslo. The first batch will be posted out from London tomorrow and I expect those of you in North America to receive them the week beginning the 13th February. If you have not received a DVD by the end of that week please let me know. T-Shirts and Posters will follow on as they require slightly different packaging. I wont pre-empt my note but once again can I thank you for your fantastic support and patience while I get the gifts out. Best wishes, Ruaridh
