Historia

Cornelius Tuayan Keagon (born 6 July 1996) is a Liberian philanthropist, expressionist artist, blogger, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and actor known for starring in Johnny Mad Dog, Murder In The Cassava Patch, and Son Of None. Born just at the end of the brutal First Liberian Civil War, Keagon began advocating for world peace and human rights from his early childhood. Due to the Second Liberian Civil War which took place between 1999 up to 2003, Keagon's early childhood was filled with violence. His education was disrupted during the Liberian crisis. In 2004, he returned to Monrovia and completed his high school education. He later earned a degree in Business Administration from the Stella Maris Polytechnic University in Monrovia. In September 2021, Keagon's Charity received the highest humanitarian award by the government of Liberia.

Self
In 2003, on the eve of the Iraq war, acclaimed director Iara Lee embarked on a journey to better understand a world increasingly embroiled in conflict and, as she saw it, heading for self-destruction. After several years, traveling over five continents, Iara encountered growing numbers of people who committed their lives to promoting change through the arts. This is their story. From IRAN, where graffiti and rap have become tools in fighting government repression, to BURMA, where monks acting in the tradition of Gandhi take on a dictatorship, to PALESTINIAN refugee camps in LEBANON, where photography, music, and film have given a voice to those rarely heard, CULTURES OF RESISTANCE explores how art and creativity can be ammunition in the battle for peace and justice.
