The butterflyrevolution has taken flight

22 August, 2016 - 06:45

With the combined synergies of Towerkop Creations and Left Post Productions, the #butterflyrevolution has taken flight and with women's month far from over, the revolution is inviting the citizens of the world to join.

Directed by Uga Carlini of Towerkop Creations and produced by Jaco Dempsey of Left Post Productions, the #butterflyrevolution campaign is inspired by the controversial 1999 Charelize Theron Real men don't rape campaign. But that was just the inspiration. The execution is slightly different. This revolution is going to our doorsteps. We are saying out loud what WE are planning on DOING about the dire situation of violence against women and children. Charelize wasn't wrong, but things have gotten even worse since, and we want to know what are the real men and real women of this country - of this world - planning on doing about it. Our revolution is about that butterfly effect; the scientific theory that a single occurrence, no matter how small, can change the course of the universe forever, because we too don't doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. And as Margaret Mead said, indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. So, why have YOU joined the #butterflyrevolution? Set the example, nominate your friends and let the #butterflyrevolution fly!

We want to remind, inspire and ignite each other by being silently brave or publically revolutionary.
