Revolution is the third film in the Civic Life series by film makers Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor. An ambitious 10 minute single take Revolution tracks over the activities at a special fund raising event to buy books for a library. All appears calm and well until dogs die, electricity cables cross, giant books topple, mouths start to bleed and things generally go awry.

Revolution involved 91 people from Lambeth in the shooting and was filmed on location at the YMCA on Stockwell Road during a sunny afternoon in September 2004. complete cast and crew list
