Global Protests & Uprisings Maps Time-Lapse

December 18 to March 7, 2011, this little video is a time-lapse series of maps marking major uprisings and protests around the world during that period. The maps are on my blog and this was a by-product.

Obviously, not every protest in the world is represented here, but it is arguably to scale. Mostly, it looks like a virus and that's cool.

The piano snippet is from a song called The Waltz, composed and performed by a Venice Beach artist named Jourdan Stephens.

I doubt one person in Russia was the limit of protest there...however, this is all based on open media research and protests in Russia don't make a lot of press, for several reasons.

The colors are Red: resulting in death, Orange: major injuries, damage, arrests, Yellow: minor injuries, etc. Green: Peaceful...the number of pickets is the size, 1: Under 100, 2: 100-1000 3: 1000-10000 4. 10K - 100K, 5. Over 100K.

It started with Iceland. Too bad they're not represented here.

@AreYouDoneSuckingYet That is a very valid point...I only started keeping the maps a couple weeks ago, so most of it had to be researched--I just had to pick a date and event to start; this one and half minutes took 81 maps..but yes, absolutely, Iceland not only started this process, they provided a great model for others to follow...thanks.
